*****Please email us before signing up for group class to see if group class is the right fit for you and your pup.
Do you struggle with your dog coming when called with other dogs around? Does your dog sit when greeting new people? How about knowing the difference between the cues wait and stay? We work on these cues and more with our advanced group class starting on every Wednesday of the month at 6:00pm at Hodgson Park in Lakewood. These 4 week classes will go over detailed redirection cues and tricks to help your dog with distractions and learning how to overcome unwanted behaviors out in public. Below is the week by week schedule for the month.
​
*These classes are recommended for dogs who need to work on basic obedience outside of the home such as coming when called, working in environments with distractions, loose leash walking and learning to meet and greet people and other dogs appropriately. These classes are recommended for dogs who already know some basic cues such as sit and down.
