6 Sessions in our Family Dog Level 1 class. 

6 sessions in our Family Dog Level 2 class. 

Class will meet at different locations around the community each session. Students will work in and out of their cars, gradually moving further away from the vehicle as their dog progresses, always using the car as a home base.

Your teacher will rotate through each dog+human team, giving personalized instruction and real-time feedback. Each team will get 3–4 turns with breaks in between. Dogs will also have opportunities to be out of their cars at the same time when appropriate (once both dogs and humans are ready).

Who is this class for?

The word "reactive" can be loaded for some folks. I'm using it as an umbrella term to describe any dog that gets distracted or overly excited to the point of being unable to listen to their human. This class is just as beneficial for a dog with a bite history as it is for a 6-month-old puppy who loves making friends.

30 Minutes in a public location with a Trainer and their dog to practice appropriate behavior and safe socialization.
