Has your dog ever bitten and broken skin, or do you have safety concerns around people or other dogs?
Would your dog have a hard time learning around up to 7 other dogs or unfamiliar people because of fear or reactivity?

Your dog has their own covered, sectioned-off training space. The first class is a people-only orientation; kids are welcome. Rabies and age-appropriate distemper/parvo records, equivalent titers, or veterinary exemptions are required 48 hours before class.

Keep learning. Keep practicing.
