Group Dog and Puppy Training
Group dog and puppy training classes can be very beneficial if your dog has some focus around distractions. They are typically for dogs who have no severe behavioral issues. These are the perfect place to proof your obedience around other people and dogs. We give big discounts to private clients for our group lessons. If you are unsure what class would be best for we would be happy to discuss more and talk about your options!
