Group Lessons

Learning to please in a lively atmosphere. The advantages of group lessons are, along with the lower costs, you are presented with many of the real life situations that can only be reconstructed in a stimulating environment of other people and their dogs. We have also seen that the group atmosphere often adds friendly competition as well as encouragement from other members of the group, as well as giving you the opportunity for socialization with other dogs and people. Group classes help your puppy or dog learn to focus on you and your commands in an environment with various distractions, helping to ensure that your dog will respond to you regardless of what is going on around you. Highly recommended for dogs and puppies 10 weeks old and older. Also a wonderful way to go if your dog has already had training and you wish to strengthen or reinforce their previous learned commands.

Private Lessons

Customized to your individual needs: As a result of the one on one format not only do you have our undivided attention but learning takes place at a pace that is customized around both you and your dogs abilities to assimilate this new information. Because the focus is solely on you and your dog learning generally takes place at a somewhat faster rate then group lessons. In addition to some degree, the program can be set up according to the issues which you feel are the most important to focus on and classes are scheduled at your convenience. You will also receive 6 months of free support,via phone or email, that starts the day of your first lessons and continues even after the formal classes end.
