Hey there, fellow dog lovers! If your four-legged friend is 18 months or older and hasn't had any formal training, we've got the perfect program for them. Our dog training class is specially designed for friendly and well-socialized dogs, and it's a fun and effective way to enhance their behavioral skills.

 

In this class, your pup will learn essential obedience commands like name recognition, recall, sit, stay, stand, and leash walking. Our experienced trainers will guide you in using positive reinforcement techniques to reward good behavior and help you address any training challenges you may encounter. And because we know socialization is important, we'll provide plenty of opportunities for your dog to interact and play with other dogs.

 

To make the training experience as effective as possible, we recommend bringing a variety of treats in a training bag. You can use high-value treats for special occasions and low-value treats for everyday training sessions. A flat buckle collar and a 6-foot leash are also required.

 

Class size is limited, so don't wait to register your interest. Our team of trainers is excited to welcome you and your furry friend to this enriching and transformative learning journey!
