Learn how to effectively communicate and live a better life with your dog
Basic training is important for every dog to help them live successfully in a human world. This class will teach you how to effectively communicate with your dog and how to teach them important life skills, and then proof those skills to be reliable in the real world.
In addition to covering traditional on-leash obedience including leave-it, wait, recall, place, improved leash skills and more, we’ll help proof those skills to be reliable in the real world. Our unique approach to training emphasizes instructing you, the human, on how to behave in a way that encourages your dog to naturally follow your guidance.
We prioritize our focus, concentrating on the skills that will most directly impact your quality of life and ability to integrate your dogs into your daily activities without stress and frustration.
- This class is geared towards dogs 8 months or older with little or no previous training, or for dogs who know the basics but have trouble performing in new environments, around distractions, or without bribery.
- It also provides a fantastic next step after the completion of puppy class and can be used to set your dog up for success in our other classes like Canine Good Citizen or our other specialty classes.
- This class is not designed to address behavioral issues like extreme fearfulness or anxiety, reactivity with people or dogs, or aggression issues. For help with these issues, we always recommend our other training services including a Board and Train or possibly, Private Lessons.
*Please note – In order to promote a safe and valuable learning environment, AGGRESSIVE AND REACTIVE DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THIS CLASS.
If your dog displays aggressive or disruptive behavior in class, you may be asked to leave. In this event, you will receive a refund of 50% of the class fee, and we will suggest an alternative training option.
The next class date is: TBD
