We’ll practice self-control exercises, such as waiting at thresholds (doors, curbs) and resisting distractions. You’ll also learn loose-leash walking and the heel command for calm, focused outings. Through consistent, reward-based training, your dog will learn to listen even in challenging environments, making daily life smoother and more enjoyable for both of you.

Yes! We welcome multiple family members, especially those involved in daily care or training. However, we ask that you keep your group to a maximum of 2 people per dog to ensure a comfortable learning space for everyone and to limit distractions.
Group classes are best suited for dogs who are comfortable working around other dogs and people. If your dog is struggling with reactivity, fear, or aggression, we recommend starting with a consultation so we can better support your dog’s needs in a less stimulating environment.
