We offer a variety of classes designed to help you and your pet build a stronger bond. Classes will be held inside and outside depending on weather. Our inside area has rubber flooring. Proof of Rabies is required for all dogs attending classes. We highly recommend Training clients also be current with Distemper, Parvovirus, and Bordatella (Canine Kennel Cough).
Although classes are set up to manage multiple people and their dogs, we believe quality over quantity is most important in training. Because of this, space is limited in all of our classes. Homework will be given to students during the course of your classes.
We also offer behavior consultations and private lessons.
A 50% nonrefundable deposit is required to hold your class spot.
Throughout the year we run a variety of seminars for you and your dog, with activities that include barn hunting, nose work, and treibball.
