Group Dog Training Classes
Our small group classes are designed to build calm, focused dogs who can listen around real-life distractions.
Each course runs for 5 weeks (1 hour per week) and includes structured progression, practical exercises, and ongoing support.
Our Levels:
- Instinct Foundations (Beginners)
- Build engagement, everyday manners, and focus. Perfect for dogs just starting their training journey.
- Instinct Control (Intermediate)
- Develop loose leash walking around distractions, stronger recalls, and improved impulse control.
- Instinct Reliability (Advanced)
- Advanced place work, off-leash preparation, and real-world reliability under higher distraction levels.
We keep classes small so every dog gets individual guidance.
