Foundation Group Class

Our Foundation Group Class focuses on the essentials every dog needs for daily life. This class is perfect for dogs of all ages that need better structure, engagement, leash manners, impulse control, and obedience foundations. Great for beginners or dogs needing consistency and accountability.

Calm Companion Group

Structured Socialization Group

This is not a dog park style playgroup. Structured Socialization teaches dogs how to properly coexist around other dogs, people, and distractions while remaining calm and responsive to their handler. Perfect for dogs needing confidence, better manners, or more controlled exposure to the world.
