ALL OF OUR CLASSES ARE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT AND ENCOURAGE GOOD MANNERS, AS WELL AS OBEDIENCE.  PUPPY LEVEL CLASSES start at 11 weeks and encourage socializing up to 6 months!  Look for our “older pup” classes coming soon!  Other classes are for pups and adults alike, but dogs do not socialize in class (we encourage you do so outside of class or at daycare)!
If you are looking for a bigger challenge try an outdoor class, or for less distractions...indoors at Pampered Pet Hotel classes!  If your goal is walking without a leash you need to stick it out all the way to advanced!  Our beginning and intermediate level classes are “freepeat” for life (once you finish your first 6 weeks) to help you achieve your goals without “breaking the bank”!
We are also available for training while your dog is boarding at Pampered Pet Hotel, Privately w/you at home or our location, and can even cater a program for home training without the owner being present.
