Group Classes

Our group classes offer a structured and safe learning environment for both pets and their parents. Our classes follow a comprehensive curriculum that covers essential obedience skills as well as addressing the underlying emotions and motivators. The curriculum progresses in a logical sequence, building upon foundational skills to gradually advance to more complex behaviors. We also focus on responsible pet ownership, emphasizing techniques to foster a strong bond between dogs and their humans and how to safely navigate this crazy world. With group classes dogs will learn skills to help them become well-rounded, behaved companions while owners gain valuable insights into effective training methods, canine communication, and what socialization really is.

This class is the second step in your dogs manner mastery journey! In order to take this class you must have taken MM1, be enrolled in private training or been approved by our trainers! We will focus on working through tougher distractions, intermediate level obedience skills, socialization skills, lobby skills and much more. This class will take place inside and outside. This is a 5 lesson series, we will not need to have an orientation class.

The course encompasses the following core elements:

Jumping/Polite Greetings: This class will put your skills learned in MM1 to the test with different scenarios of greeting people and providing your dog opportunities to practice keeping all four paws on the floor when meeting people.
Intermediate Crate Training: We will work on the skill of being crated while dogs are walking by, pet parents walk away or new people come up to the crate.
Loose Leash Walking: Master leash manners with distractions such as walking toward dogs, past dogs/people/smells, into exciting places and heel. We will learn when to use heel and how.
Place: We will be practicing our place skills while distractions are going on, increasing owner distance and for duration.
Engagement with Handler: Foster active engagement and connection between dogs and their owners through engaging activities, interactive play, and stimulating mental exercises.
Lobby Etiquette: We will practice proper behavior in the lobby which will mimic how to handle public areas such as vet offices, coffee shops or other pet friendly areas.
