Common Questions
GROUP CLASS 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, start with a consultation.
My dog has never taken a class. Is this too much?
No. We start slow and progress at your dog's pace. Our classes are designed to meet dogs where they are.
Do dogs interact with each other in class?
No. Group classes focus on neutrality, not play or greetings. Dogs learn to work calmly around other dogs, which is a foundational skill.
Do I need special equipment?
Just a six-foot leash, a calm mindset, and willingness to learn. If something specific is recommended, we'll 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. We'll guide you to the right fit.
What happens if I miss a class?
We'll guide you on what to practice so you can stay aligned with the class progress.
