Fall Filling Fast

Our Fall classes are quickly filling up as pet parents realize autumn is the perfect time to fine tune their dog's behavior. Whether this is your first dog or you are a veteran dog owner, a group training class will help socialize your dog and teach him new skills.

Fall Dog Do you have a new adult dog in your home but not sure if she has had training in her prior life? Fido Foundations gets your dog off to a solid start with a skill set of Sit, Down, Stay and Go to Place. Welcome Home is a beginner training class that addresses basic commands as well as situations specific to rescue dogs.

Does your dog have aspirations to be a therapy dog? Our Canine Good Citizen is the first step in that journey.

Agility Give your dog confidence and exercise their mind as well as their body with Intro to Agility.

Check out our entire Fall class schedule.
