Classes are a great, economical way to learn how to train your puppy. They are a great option for the do-it-yourself aficionado who truly enjoys training their puppy. Each week, we teach you several new exercises to help you train your puppy. Then, it's up to you to do your homework and come back to class the next week with questions!

​

Each class is 50 minutes long and lasts for 6 consecutive weeks (unless otherwise noted).

​

Six week long classes cost $135 for all six weeks. Shorter classes are priced accordingly.
