_{Introducing Flex Classes!} 

Flexible Attendance Group Training Classes

Classes are based on particular topics like coming when called, loose leash walking, polite greetings, puppy foundations, etc. Whatever skill level you and your dog are at, there will be lots of great information in each class for you.  The more classes you attend, the stronger your dog’s skills will be. We increase the difficulty level for dogs that already know the basics.

The classes are designed for you to repeat.  We keep class size small (4-5 teams max) with multiple instructors so we can work with you individually at your level. You also get to focus on the skills that matter to you.

You can start right away instead of waiting for a particular start date.

You purchase a Flex Class Pass then pick the classes you want. This allows you to attend classes on your schedule.

Have more than one dog? Split your Flex pass between multiple dogs.

Classes must meet a minimum of 2 teams for the class to take place.  You must pre-register for a class or cancel 48 hours in advance.  If you do not show up for class it will count as one of your classes.  Classes can be held inside AND outside. Please dress appropriately.  Proof of current vaccines are required. 

*Group classes are not suitable for dogs who severely react by;  barking, lunging, and or growling at people or other dogs. Contact us if you have any questions.

Private lessons are also available at our facility - call for pricing
