GROUP LESSONS
Small groups mean BIG results!
We utilize respected learning theory that addresses both human and canine learners! Our Canine Educators understand how both you and your dog learn. We understand that different dogs have varied motivation. We know that some dog training class participants are new to the joy of learning with their dog, and others are seasoned dog owner-trainers who are seeking to add to their extensive knowledge base. Classes and are designed to be fun AND cognitively stimulating for everyone. With small classes, we provide plenty of time for demonstration, practice and discussion. We vary our teaching activities to include games and problem-solving procedures. We focus on training humans and their canine family members how to effectively communicate with one another and the results are happy people and dogs who leave each class with new skills. Families may all attend dog training class, but small children must be supervised to maximize safety and learning for all.
