Even though your whole family can't attend class together in person, everyone should still take part in your dog's training!In addition to your written handbook, we have updated our online homework to include videos of class demos and detailed instructions that you can review together as you practice at home. Permission to video in class! We welcome students to set up their I-pad or Notebook to class to record or face-time the lessons so your family can watch from home.

All of our trainers use gentle, positive, effective methods.No pushing, no shoving, no jerking, no intimidating, no scaring, no forcing, no "do it, or else."" Thank you for always being there to enhance my relationships with these lovely partners. Being without my dear Milo still hurts terribly, but if not for him I would never have been ready to love and teach and learn from all the other dogs in my life. You did so much more than show me a clicker, and I'm eternally grateful! And, it's not just you and Dana of course, it's your family, teachers, school, everything you do! Thank you!

Start your puppy in classes right away! Pre-adolescent puppies start in Puppy Kindergarten. Can't make the Puppy K dates? Start in Headstart.6 months to adult of any age?Start in Headstart​The Headstart class is the best place to start if your rowdy adolescent missed puppy class, if you have a newly adopted dog, or just want to have fun teaching your family dog new skills, no matter what your future goals.What will we learn?Graduates from a Level One Beginning Class move on to Level Two: Intermediate Prep.Ready to Register?Click here to choose your class:BEGINNING CLASS SCHEDULEThen fill out theONLINE REGISTRATION FORMRegistering online does not mean you must pay online, you may pay by mail or drop off a check or cash to the training studio.Why are our beginning classes divided by age? Because puppies change dramatically as they mature and they do best learning with dogs at a similar social and developmental level. More than that, owner questions and concerns change as their puppy matures, so the topics covered each week change with the dogs' ages as well.Preschool, Kindergarten and Headstart students will all progress to the Intermediate Prep as their next class.​​What will we learn?Go here for a description of what you and your pup will learn in each class level.Don't wait! Classes fill quickly - sometimes a month in advance!Oh, no! Your classes are full! Can I still get in? Maybe! Sometimes people's plans change at the last minute, or they forgot to get their vet slip signed and find out they still need more vaccinations and need to delay. Register forthe next month to be sure you have a spot, AND note on the registration form that you would like to be placed on a waiting list. Waiting list spots are filled on a first come first served basis. Occasionally, if the waiting list is long, we sometimes add a class if there is room on the schedule. You may also register for any class as an Auditor for a reduced fee and participate in class without your dog. Most training and learning happens at home anyway!When can we start? As soon as you have your vet permission slip signed. Puppies under 20 weeks of age may start the Sunday Puppy Confidence sessions before their regular puppy class begins, as long as they have their veterinary permission slip signed. If your vet can'tsign your permission slipfor group classes, sign up for private Puppy Primer sessions!​How do we pay for class? Will my spot be held?You may pay by mail or drop off cash or check to our training studio on North Monroe. If you'd like to pay with a credit card, you may pay online via Paypal here. We will do our utmost to hold your spot. In return, we would appreciate it if you would let us know ASAP if you have a change of plans so we can give your spot to someone else.Go here for class descriptionsSchedule links below!Beginning Classes: (choose by age) Veterinary Permission Slip - download and print.

We learned the very best way to help our sweet boy....lots of positive reinforcement that worked perfectly!
