Upcoming Classes

Tracking

calendar_month Thursdays · 6:00 PM · Starting May 7, 2026 · 6 weeks · 5 spots left

Tracking is an activity that utilizes a dog's inherent desire to sniff and track scents. We are channelling this desire and teaching a dog to follow human footsteps with their nose and, ultimately, find "lost" items, which can include dropped gloves, keys, and wallets.

Group Obedience (Beginners)

calendar_month Mondays · 6:00 PM · Starting June 1, 2026 · 6 weeks · 12 spots left

This course is designed for beginners with no prior experience and is suitable for adult dogs and fully vaccinated puppies of all temperaments—from fearful or reactive dogs to exuberant, high-energy companions, as well as those with “selective hearing.” It is also ideal for anyone looking to build a strong foundation for future competitive training. The focus is on helping handlers develop a meaningful connection with their dogs while learning how to train effectively. Core skills include recall, heeling, positions and stays (such as sit and down), manners, and play, with an emphasis on focus and engagement as the basis for reliable, everyday behavior.
