Group Support 

Classes are offered twice a month, are one hour long, and are held on Sunday mornings (times shift for season changes). Payment is required at class sign up. Email notification is sent out once a month with class dates and RSVP links. If you sign up then you will receive a second email that will come out Thursday before said class with details about what to bring, where to meet, etc. The folks who have signed up for class will be notified via email/text if class is being canceled. 

 

 

We are practicing these skills, not learning them. 

• Loose leash walking/ heel

• Using Long line (15 ft)

• Place/Settle command

• Recall

 

Class will provide you a safe space to work with your dog around other dogs whose owners have the same goals. I only provide scenarios - drills, games, etc. Each class is designed based on the dogs who have signed up but they allow options for the owners to make things more advanced or to step out, create space, and work the dog off the class. 

 

The #1 thing we (dogs and humans alike) strive to work towards in class is being prosocial. Prosocial is the desire to benefit others by your presence and actions. It also includes the ability to trust one another and work together in vulnerable times, as a unit.
