Group Classes - Social Learning & Confidence Building

​

Group classes provide an excellent opportunity for dogs who are comfortable around others to practice their skills in a real-world environment. Training alongside other dogs helps build confidence, improves focus despite distractions, and creates positive social experiences.

​

Is Group Training Right for Your Dog?

Group classes work best for dogs who are not reactive or fearful around other dogs and people. If your dog shows signs of stress, fear, or aggression in social situations, we recommend starting with a private behaviour consultation to address these concerns first.

Small Class Sizes

We keep our groups small to ensure each dog receives individual attention and feedback. This allows us to adapt activities to different learning styles and energy levels while maintaining a safe, positive environment for all participants.

Our group training classes run every Saturday!
