Anyone interested in attending one of our group classes must have a trainer’s recommendation. Not all dogs learn efficiently in a class setting, so we must see your dog for an evaluation to be approved to enroll in classes.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, class sizes are significantly limited, and classes are held in open air whenever possible.
