GROUP LESSONS

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, $83 - $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 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 $249, and our initial Meet N Greet interview is just $40 for 30 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. 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!

RESILIENCY LAB  & ENRICHMENT CLUB

Plenty of Love and Attention, $35 per session

Post-Covid programs are here to help dogs who are feeling fearful or socially selective in their "new normal." Many pups are dealing with stress from urban noise, construction, and the changes brought on by the pandemic. That’s why we offer a Resiliency Program to help dogs build new coping skills and boost their confidence. These programs are also perfect for newly adopted dogs or those adjusting to city life after a recent move. Before joining our Resiliency Labs, we recommend starting with our Building Resiliency group class. We also have spots available in our Enrichment Club—just schedule a daycare assessment to get started!
