Fall 2026 Group Classes

S.T.A.R. Puppy Class

For Puppies under 6 months of age

The goal of this S.T.A.R.Puppy Program is to start your puppy off with a foundation built on mutual trust and respect. This program will teach you and your puppy how to properly communicate with each other, while you both learn. 

You and your puppy will learn the very beginnings of basic obedience and socialization. This will include sit, down, recall, settling, proper communication with other dogs and people, leash manners, proper response to examinations and grooming, as well as confidence building. 

We will address potty training in our potty training guide, which will be given to each individual after sign up. 

If you have any questions or concerns about this class, please reach out to me before you sign up and we can discuss.

Remember that you have to attend all 6 classes in order to receive your S.T.A.R. Puppy certification.

Beginner Group Class

For dogs and puppies ages 6 months and older.

The goal of this group class is to help you build a solid relationship with your dog as well as teach them foundation obedience that can be used every day. This class differs from the puppy class by addressing each individual dog’s needs in a more direct and strict manner. Older dogs have had more time to build bad habits and this class will work to redirect those bad habits and turn them into good habits. Each dog will be assessed individually and what works for one dog may not work for another. We will try multiple methods to ensure each dog and owner combo will get the education they need. 

Your puppy will learn leash skills, recall, sit, down, place, leave it, confidence building, and more. 

If you have any questions or concerns about this class, please reach out to me before you sign up and we can discuss.

Intermediate Group Class

 For dogs and puppies aged 6 months and older. 

The goal of this group class is to build upon the foundation training your dog already has by pushing the limits on what they can do. We will take everything you have learned in your basic class and fine tune it, as well as add in more difficult tasks. Your dog will get an early introduction to off leash work, distractions, various safety and security movements, as well as continue to build a solid relationship with their handler. If you are looking for a more advanced option, but aren’t quite ready for the public access aspect of training, this is the class for you. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me before you sign up and we can discuss.

Advanced Group Class

 

The goal of the advanced class is to expand further on all your dog has learned and to solidify that education by pushing your dog's boundaries in various locations with higher distraction levels and higher expectations. During this class, I will expect you to be patient with your dog while we work so that we can move at their pace, not ours. 

These classes will be scheduled in different locations. Be sure to double check where class will be held so that you can be on time. If you are attending both our Intermediate class and our Advanced class, you can follow me to location each week. 

If you have any questions or concerns about this class, please reach out to me before you sign up to ensure you and your dog are comfortable. Your dog needs to be able to walk easy on a leash and recall. If you are unsure if you are ready for this class, I will be happy to complete a free consultation for you.

This class will require a cleanup kit that will need to be shown to me upon your first class. If you do not have one I can put one together for you for an additional $20. If you would like to purchase an e-collar for this class, please reach out to me at least 2 weeks in advance so that I can order a custom one for you in the color of your choosing. I will have some available for purchase in my booth, but they will be black on black.

Group Classes

I host an exposure group class every Saturday morning at 10am at one of the local parks. Check out my Facebook page for updates!

Drop ins welcome.

$15 each.

Board and Train

In this program, your dog will stay with me from 3 to 5 weeks to learn many different skills and to proof those skills. 

In this program your dog will learn:

Basic commands such as Sit, Down, Recall, Place, Stay, and leash manners. 

We will also work on behavior modification to correct problem behaviors such as reactivity or overstimulation. 

Our 5 week program is our off leash program where we work through all of the above and add in the off leash reliability option. 

During each board and train, we invite owners to participate in private sessions and group classes to help with the transition afterward. Owners will also receive one year of free group class attendance to help maintain what your dog learns. 

All dogs in this program will come home with a Mini Educator E-Collar, prong collar  (if needed), and whichever collar we use in the program. 

This program is best for dogs and puppies over 5 months of age. 

Pricing:

3 weeks - $2000

5 weeks - $3100

Private Sessions

Our private sessions are our most popular training program. Sessions are typically an hour long. During the session we will tackle any problem behaviors and basic training needed. The amount of sessions needed for each dog will vary based on the work put in by the owner between sessions. 

Pricing is $100 per session.
