Basic & Puppy Group Dog Training Classes – 6-Week Obedience Course

Looking for expert dog training near you to help your puppy or young dog become the BEST family member possible? Our Basic & Puppy Group Dog Training Course is a 6-week group class designed to teach essential obedience skills, improve behavior, and build a strong, trusting bond between you and your dog.

This group class also includes foundational behaviors required to prepare your dog for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test.


What You’ll Learn in Our 6-Week Dog Training Course:

We start by teaching your dog how to focus and pay attention—because a distracted dog can’t learn! From there, we use positive reinforcement dog training methods to help your dog succeed through clear communication, consistency, and rewards. Our goal is to create a happy, confident, and obedient dog.
