Group Classes | Best Paw Forward Dog Training
Starts Wednesday November 11th
6:30pm – 7:20pm

Your dog knows the basics, now it’s time to make them work when life gets harder.

Level 2 challenges your dog with greater distance, longer duration, increased distractions, stronger recalls, more advanced leash skills, impulse control, and maintaining obedience around other dogs and people.

The goal is less reliance on treats and constant reminders and more reliable responses when you actually need them.

Perfect for Level 1 graduates or dogs with a solid foundation who are ready to take their training into more challenging, real-world situations.

why group class training

Your dog learns around the distractions,
not away from them.

Anyone can teach behaviors in a quiet room. Group training teaches dogs to focus when life gets distracting.

1
Focus around distractions

Other dogs in the room help your dog learn to focus when it actually matters.

2
Small classes. More coaching.

We keep classes intentionally small so you’re not fighting for attention or left guessing what to do next.

3
Real progress.

Every class works toward something meaningful – better manners, improved focus, increased confidence, or AKC title testing.

Dogs should be current on vaccinations appropriate for their age, based on the schedule recommended by their veterinarian. Puppies may begin class after receiving at least two rounds of vaccines. Because early learning and socialization windows are so important, we generally do not recommend waiting until the entire puppy vaccine series is complete to begin training.

Yes. Family members from the same household are welcome to attend so everyone can learn and use the same training techniques. One person should serve as the primary handler during class.

Group classes may not be suitable for dogs that become highly reactive, fearful, or aggressive around people or other dogs. If you’re unsure whether your dog will be comfortable and safe in a group setting, please contact us before registering.

Puppy Foundations is designed for puppies up to 6 months old and focuses on early manners, confidence, socialization, and preventing common puppy problems. Obedience Level 1 is for adolescent and adult dogs that are new to training or need a stronger foundation around distractions.

Bring your dog on a standard 6-foot leash, along with plenty of small, high-value treats. Please do not bring a retractable leash. We’ll send any additional instructions before your first class.

Because classes follow a set schedule and space is limited, we cannot offer make-up classes or refunds for missed sessions. You’ll get the best results by attending all four weeks and practicing the skills at home between classes.
