Start training from the very first lesson! You’ll receive the tools you need to help your pup practice good behaviors right away.
Our positive reinforcement trainers and assistants make sure every pup has a positive experience and learns at their own pace.
We provide homework after every class and offer email support between multi-session classes for questions that can’t wait until the next session.
You’ll also receive comprehensive training materials covering everything taught in class.
