Common questions

FAQs.
Are group classes safe for reactive dogs?
Yes, when appropriate. Classes are structured with safety, space, and regulation in mind. Some dogs may need private lessons first. If you're unsure, take the behavior quiz or book a consultation.
What is the difference between STAR Puppy and Fundamental Obedience?
STAR Puppy is about how your puppy feels about the world. Fundamental Obedience is about what your dog does when the world gets loud. The socialization window is most open between 8 and 16 weeks, so puppy class is spent building confidence, engagement with you, and calm around other dogs. Manners are in there, but they are not the point. Fundamental Obedience assumes that foundation is already there and builds the skills that have to hold up around distractions: sit, down, place, loose leash walking, and a recall that works outside the house. Rule of thumb: puppy under about five months, start with STAR Puppy. Dog over about six months, or habits already set, start with Fundamental Obedience.
Do dogs interact with each other in class?
No. Group classes focus on neutrality, not play or greetings. Dogs work near each other but interactions are managed and intentional.
My dog has never taken a class. Is this too much?
No. We start slow and progress at your dog's pace.
Do I need special equipment?
Just a six-foot leash, a calm mindset, and willingness to learn. If something specific is recommended, we will explain why and how to use it safely.
Where are classes held?
All classes are held at our facility at 40 W. Franklin Rd, Unit C, Meridian, Idaho. If a class ever meets somewhere else, we note it on the class card and in your confirmation email.
