What To Expect At ClassOur group classes are generally open to any dogs who are well-socialized with other dogs and people. The ability to perform basic obedience commands is helpful. Each dog must have its own human partner. Activities will be assigned appropriately for the age and developmental stage of each individual dog and will be based on the general goal of the class you've chosen. Please bring single bite treats for your pup, and a water bowl. We require all dogs to have a harnesses or flat buckle collar and non retractable leash.
Most of our classes are offered in both multi-week sessions and sampler series sessions. Multi-week sessions generally run for 3-6 weeks, with one 60 minute class per week, and build upon skills learned over the span of the class. Multi-week classes are paid for as a package and will involve the same dogs and companions each week. Sampler series sessions are scheduled as individual 60 minute classes and customers can choose to register for any or all of the available classes without committing to 3-6 consecutive weeks. Be sure to check the individual event for details on each particular class and how it is scheduled. |
