Expert Group Dog Training!
Make Training Fun with Our Group Sessions
Group Dog Training is a fantastic way to teach your dog new skills while they interact with other dogs and people. Our classes bring together a small group of dogs and their owners, guided by our experienced trainers. We focus on positive reinforcement techniques to teach basic obedience commands, address common behavioral issues, and help your dog become a well-behaved member of the community.
Group training offers the added benefit of socialization, which is crucial for your dog’s development. By exposing your dog to different environments, people, and other dogs, we help them become more confident and less anxious in everyday situations.
What Will Your Dog Learn?
Our Group Dog Training classes cover a variety of essential skills and commands:
- Basic Obedience Commands: Sit, stay, down, come, heel, and leave it.
- Loose Leash Walking: Teach your dog to walk calmly by your side without pulling.
- Focus and Attention: Help your dog learn to focus on you, even with distractions around.
- Impulse Control: Address behaviors like jumping on people, barking, and leash reactivity.
- Socialization Skills: Encourage positive interactions with other dogs and people.
- Confidence Building: Expose your dog to new environments and situations in a controlled setting.
- Owner Education: Equip you with the knowledge and tools to continue training at home.
Our classes are suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds. Whether you have a rambunctious puppy or an older dog needing some refresher training, our group sessions can help.
