CANINE EDUCATION & CLASSES
We teach you to craft a great relationship with your dog using humane and force-free training techniques. Proven effective teaching methods address YOUR learning style so we set both the canine and human up for maximum success. All of this with some of Seattle's most experienced, certified dog training instructors motivate you to get ready for a GREAT experience!
​
We offer a variety of educational opportunities to fit your dog training needs. We have private lessons held at our facility, group classes including Reactivity and a Resiliency program designed for fearful dogs
GROUP CLASSES
Small groups mean BIG results!
We use proven learning techniques that work for both humans and dogs! Our Canine Educators know how you and your dog learn best, and we understand that every dog is motivated differently. Whether you're new to training or an experienced dog owner looking to expand your skills, our classes are designed to be fun and mentally engaging for everyone. With small class sizes, we offer plenty of time for demos, practice, and discussion. We mix things up with games and problem-solving activities to keep learning exciting! Our focus is on helping you and your dog communicate effectively, so you both leave each class with new skills and happy tails. Families are welcome to attend, but please ensure small children are supervised for a safe and productive learning experience.
PRIVATE LESSONS
@ Great Dog, $150 - $200 per session
You and your instructor will create a customized training program tailored just for you and your dog! Each session will include fun in-lesson activities and take-home resources to reinforce what you’ve learned. You decide what skills or behaviors you want to focus on, and your trainer will use cutting-edge, humane techniques that get real results. When learning is rewarded, it sticks—and both you and your dog will enjoy the benefits of this highly personalized series of three or nine 50-minute sessions, scheduled entirely at your convenience. You can choose to complete the series in three consecutive days, once a week, once a month, or whatever works best for you. The minimum commitment is three sessions for $480, and our initial Meet N Greet interview is just $60 for 45 minutes.
For more complex needs like behavior modification for impulsivity, fear, reactivity, or separation anxiety, we may recommend a longer commitment or a specialized, certified educator. These sessions are $200 as they typically necessitate a second trainer to safely introduce other dogs, act as stranger danger stimuli, etc.
But don’t worry—we’ll help you figure out the perfect plan. Book a Meet N Greet Interview to get started! In the interview, we’ll learn about your dog and your training goals, and you’ll learn all about us. It’s a great way to dip your toes in and see if our lessons are the right fit for you and your pup!
ENRICHMENT CLUB
$31 per session
Offered in limited 2 hour increments, give your dog a safe place to come learn new things and try new activities! Each weekday (except Monday, but we are tinkering with things!) we have a different activity or trick for the dogs to enjoy. Each month, we put up our current calendar of activities.
Enrichment Club is currently available for dogs that have completed a Meet and Greet, Evaluation, or Group Class, and are crate tolerant (as pups do have to take turns!)

ONLINE LEARNING
Zoom Private Lessons, $83 per session
Many of your dog’s basic manners, behavioral challenges and even enrichment needs can be successfully taught via a well-designed online Zoom session. Join certified trainer & co-owner, Judi Anderson-Wright or founding owner and certified trainer/behaviorist, Leslie Csokasy in designing your specific plan and then commit to three one-hour sessions scheduled for your convenience. All sessions are live on Zoom but are also recorded so you can review them at any time.
