Group Classes
Small group instruction for structured learning and real-world distraction work. Group classes provide professional training in a controlled environment with built-in socialization and distraction exposure. Learn alongside other committed dog owners while building reliable obedience under pressure.
Are group classes right for you?
We recommend group classes for dog owners who learn well in structured group settings and want their dog to practice obedience around real-world distractions.
When group classes are ideal:
You prefer hands-on involvement in your dog's training
You want built-in distraction work and socialization opportunities
You learn better alongside other dog owners facing similar challenges
You have time to practice 30-45 minutes daily at home between sessions
You want professional guidance at a lower price point than private sessions
When group classes are not ideal
Your dog has severe aggression or cannot be safely around other dogs
You need faster results than weekly sessions can provide
Your schedule is irregular and you can't commit to weekly attendance
You prefer one-on-one attention without other dogs present
