    Puppy Kindergarten

    This class is designed to give your puppy a confident, well-balanced start through structured early training in a small group setting. You’ll focus on socialization, basic manners, crate and handling skills, and foundational obedience that builds clarity, engagement, and good habits during the most important stage of development.

  • A woman and a man gently pet a black and tan dog inside a building, with a metal fence in the background.

    Level 1 Obedience

    This class is designed to establish clear communication and foundational obedience skills for dogs beginning structured training. You’ll work on leash manners, sit, down, stay, recall, and focus exercises while building engagement and handling control in a calm, structured environment that sets the stage for future training levels.

  • A small curly-haired brown and black dog peeking out from underneath a wooden bench, with only its head and front paws visible.

    Shy Dog Class

    This class is designed to help sensitive or underconfident dogs build comfort, trust, and stability in a controlled training environment. You’ll work at a thoughtful pace on engagement, confidence-building exercises, and calm exposure to other dogs while strengthening your communication and helping your dog feel more secure.

Intermediate Classes

    Trickgility

    This class is designed to combine fun trick training with introductory agility-style skills to build confidence, coordination, and engagement.

    Level 2 Obedience

You’ll work on longer durations, increased distractions, and improved responsiveness while refining leash skills, recall, and control in more challenging environments that build consistency and real-world reliability.

  • A black and gray puppy with white paws and chest walking out of a blue fabric tunnel on a grassy field.

    Low-Impact Agility

    This class is designed to introduce agility concepts in a safe, controlled way that emphasizes confidence over intensity.
