Group Classes

Learn how to Train Effectively & Efficiently

About

Group classes are where YOU will learn the most about training your dog! The more you learn, the more successful you will be in your training goals. Group classes are a cost effective way to learn how to train your dog effectively and efficiently. They are also a great way to get out and spend some one-on-one time with your dog doing a variety of fun training activities! 

CK9 Membership & Online Homework

We believe it is equally important to train the humans as it is to train the dogs. This is why our Foundation 1 classes (Perfect Puppy & Courteous K9) classes include 2 months free of our CK9 Membership. You will enjoy access to ALL of our online courses! 

Many of our additional classes also include an online version of the class.

Toy Play Classes

With this class, you get to decide what skills you would like to work on. Some examples may include teaching your dog to: have efficient fetch game- get the toy, bring it all the way back, let go of the toy or drop the toy when asked, impulse control around toys, reinforcing skills with toys vs food, putting their toys away, disc (frisbee) introduction, etc.  

 

Each dog will be kenneled at our facility in the crate room, until it is your turn to practice the designated skills. Each student will get at least two sessions to come out and practice the skills with the trainer. This is to help set up the dog for success to limit the distraction/arousal from seeing another dog playing as well as to not wear out their energy prior to the instructor watching and providing feedback.
