Day Training is best if you:

  • Are feeling over-whelmed by training responsibilities
  • Have more intention to train than time and energy to do it
  • Want to kick start your training, but need more support than coaching alone
  • Have a new puppy and are feeling over-whelmed by the pressure of socialization duties
  • Or maybe you just want your dog to learn new things and experience the enrichment of training while you’re at work!

Group Dog Training is best if:

  • You have some training basics, but want to know what more your dog is capable of!
  • You’ve watched dogs trained in Agility, Scent, Tricks and more, and think “that’s so cool… my dog could totally do that!” (they totally can!)
  • Your dog is motivated to work with you in a group class environment
