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 than 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.
Foundation 1 Classes

COURTEOUS K9 (for dogs older than 5 months)
These classes are designed to teach you all the basics such as: prompted & offered eye contact, sit, down, come, walking nicely on a leash, leave it, relaxation on their bed, focus around distractions, etc.

LIFE SKILLS
In this advanced obedience class, we build on foundation behaviors by adding in distractions and distance as well as acquiring new skills each week that make living with our dogs easier and more enjoyable. All of which are designed to help you build stronger and more reliable behaviors that hold up in real life settings! This class also prepares you for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test and will test you on the last week of class!

Nosework Classes
INTRO TO NOSEWORK
In this class we will instill in the dog a desire to search for something we want them to find and an ability to communicate to us that they have found it, knowing that there is a great reward at the end of that search.
Nosework is a great skill to build dog's confidence, reduce environmental sensitivity and provide mental and physical exercise through teamwork with the handler.
