Need some financial assistance? No problem!
When should I start my dog in classes?
Anytime! Puppies under 6 months will typically start in puppy classes, but pups 6+ months can join our adult classes! Older dogs can learn, too!!
What will my dog learn in class?
Manners classes will cover skills like Sit, Down, Place, Leave It, Drop It, Leash Walking, Recalls, Stay, and Wait.
We'll also help dogs learn to train even among distractions!
What if my dog is reactive to other dogs?
Group classes may not be the right fit for your pup! Reach out to us about private training first.
Which class is right for my dog?
We generally recommend starting dogs in the Basic Manners class.
Do you use prong collars, shock collars, or choke collars?
No. We don't find that they're useful, and they can negatively impact our training plans. But if you've been using one, don't panic- you're not alone, and we're still happy to help you find solutions that work.
Are vaccinations required for class?
All dogs must have vaccinations commensurate with their age in order to attend class, and not show signs of coughing, sneezing, vomiting, etc before class. (Note: puppies must be at least 7 days past their first round of vaccinations. This is according to recommendations from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviorists, AVSAB.)
