Group Classes
Graduate School Program
Keep Your Dog Focused
Dogs (and people) are life-long learners. Training always starts with private and individual work, but most families greatly benefit from participating in our group work for dogs who have completed training with us.
Our graduate group class program improves your dog’s focus on everyday distractions. You will receive feedback, real-world training applications and dog socialization.
These classes are followed by one of our Socials. These allow our graduated dogs to socialize in a safe and supervised environment.
How It Works
Create a Plan
We select a specific behavior topic or skills that you and your dog will learn and practice during each class.
Deal With Distractions
By learning proper behaviors while around others, your dog will realize to ignore other people, dogs and distractions - focusing on you and your commands.
Learn to Socialize
You and your dog spend time with other people and dogs. The dogs are usually about the same age, and they get to interact during and after the class.
Have Lots of Fun
You and your dog enjoy the learning experience and share more bonding that creates the best behavior at home and in public.
Graduate School - Advanced Training
Maintain Your Dog's Purpose
Training isn’t a temporary thing – it’s a lifestyle.
After your dog has completed a foundation of training and completed six weeks of group classes, we offer even more learning opportunities. Our advanced training programs take your dog to their next level of behavior.
