You love your dog

But sometimes training feels confusing, or overwhelming

When your dog reacts, it can feel overwhelming & embarrassing.

We understand how stressful that is.

Many dogs aren’t “bad”

They’re under-fulfilled, unclear, or unsure how to navigate the world.

And many owners feel stuck between:

Not knowing what class is right

Feeling overwhelmed by too many options

Worrying their dog won’t get enough attention in a group

How can I sign up for a group class?

You can view upcoming sessions and reserve your spot here: Sign up for a group class.

Are group classes safe for reactive dogs?

It depends on the dog. Some reactive dogs do well after foundation work, while others need private support first. If you are unsure, start with the behavior quiz or book an in person consultation.

What equipment do I need?

Most dogs do well with a regular leash and a flat collar or harness. If something specific is recommended, we will explain why and how to use it safely.

What if my dog struggles to settle in class?

Some dogs benefit from group structure, but others need private foundation work first. Nose work can also help many dogs downshift and focus. Learn more: Scent detection and nose work.

What happens if I miss a class?

Policies can vary by program. If you miss a session, we will guide you on what to practice so you can stay aligned with the class progress.
