Specialty Group Classes

We offer a variety of specialty group classes dedicated to specific training topics.  Group classes meet once per week for 7 weeks, and each class is approximately 50 minutes long.  All classes include weekly homework sheets and educational handouts designed to make your training experience fun, educational, and above all effective!

These specialty offerings include:

Feisty Fido
This class is geared to providing a solid understanding of canine communication and handling techniques for dogs who are reactive to people or animals.  The knowledge and training exercises provided in class will help you and your dog be more comfortable around people and animals.

Fearful Fido
This class is a specialized treatment program geared specifically to helping dogs conquer their fears. This class is for dogs who:
    
    • Bark or growl anxiously at people, dogs, cars, the vacuum cleaner, etc.
    • Run and hide from strangers.
    • Cower and shake when encountering something new in their environment.

You'll learn how to use counter conditioning techniques to treat a variety of fear-based behavioral problems. 


Beginner Off Leash Work
This class helps students and their dogs take their obedience skills and transition to working off leash.  Specific training exercises ensure that our dogs are positively learning to respond to their owners regardless of whether they are on leash or off leash.


Intermediate Off Leash Work
This class builds on the skills learned in Beginner Off Leash Work and progresses to off leash work in all basic obedience cues.
