Note: As behaviorists, we will touch on behaviors much more than a typical class program, but this is primarily a basic obedience class. For advanced training, excessive barkers, anxious or aggressive dogs, a private session is necessary.

How much does the class cost?
$275/dog for 1:15 hour long classes once per week for 4 weeks. Classes do not meet over holiday weeks.

What If I have to miss a class?
We can arrange for a private session to work around your schedule, for an additional fee.

What are the requirements to attend the class?

*Vaccinations. Dogs must have received 2 nd set of shots, (DHPP -2, Bordetella).
This is typically completed by 10 weeks of age. 

*Dog must be on standard leash (no retractable leashes).

*Keep the dog hungry, hungry for class. Bring their regular food and some small, soft treats.

*Please do not let your dog  go nose-to-nose with another dog in the beginning. This is a dangerous way for dogs to meet and greet. We will talk about why/socialization in class.

*Be ready to have FUN! Positive, reinforcement training is not only fun and effective, but a great bonding experience between the dog and family. All members of the family who want to attend are encouraged to come.
