Group Obedience Classes
Building the foundation starts here!
***SPECIAL NOTE: All group classes are completed for 2022. We are excitedly expecting our baby February 2023 so there are no classes currently scheduled yet for early next year. Please check back early spring for updates! Thank you all for your well wishes! -Ashley***
Group obedience classes help provide you and your dog with a quality education, in a fun, safe and controlled environment at an affordable price. I offer a variety of classes to suit your needs. Whether a new puppy or an adult dog, there is a class for everyone! Classes are updated on a regular basis so if you don't happen to see a class date that works for you, check back at a later date to see future classes, or email me to ask to be put on a wait list. Aside from the standard 6 week classes, from time to time I will also be offering specialty classes which are either a 4 week program or a 1 day special workshop.
Want to learn about science-based dog training while having a good time and meeting like-minded people? If your answer is yes, then you should consider attending one of my group classes today!
***Please note: Only those who fill in the online registration form and pay their deposit can attend classes. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot as spots are limited. Once your registration form is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email requesting your deposit of $100. Deposits can be paid by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Any additional payment arrangements can be discussed. The remainder of class fees ($50) are to be paid on the first class.***
