This 45-minute group class is very beneficial for all dogs, including those who need to work on their socialization skills around other dogs, as well as for dogs who are nervous or shy around new people. We begin with a 10-minute obedience warm-up, then let dogs socialize with one another off-leash in a controlled, properly supervised environment. You'll learn to read the behavior cues and signals of different dogs, learn how and when to give your dog time-outs for inappropriate behavior, when to praise and reward, and when to remove them from a tense situation. For dogs working on human socialization, we incorporate specific exercises to encourage your dog to investigate and seek attention from other dog owners.
Cost: $30 +tax per class;

*Please note: Some dogs are not suitable for our group off-leash socialization class. For such dogs, we can schedule private socialization sessions. During these private sessions, you will be given specific direction as your dog is introduced one at a time to anywhere from 3 to 8 trained dogs of varying personalities and temperaments. Private socialization sessions cost $100 +tax and last approximately 45 minutes.

Our favorite group class! Learn about, compete for and earn AKC competition Rally & Obedience titles through our AKC Competition Class. This advanced class, available exclusively to our Alumni, builds teamwork and trust while offering you & your dog a fun new challenge.
Cost: $20 +tax per class
