COVID - INTO PHASE 2!
March classes will begin next week for delayed students.
If you have not received an email to re-schedule your delayed class, please let us know.
Please make sure our email address is on your safe list! If we can't get you into March, we would like to get a spot reserved for you in April before we open for new registrations. Thank you for your patience as we scramble to make training possible for you and your dogs. Private lessons are also available if you need help now.
In-person classes must be limited to one person per dog. Or choose Zoom so the whole family can attend and learn together!
Zoom classes are the perfect option for the youngest puppies and the busiest families. If you have a difficult schedule - you will also receive links to each week's recorded sessions so you'll never miss a class.
Registered but haven't heard back yet?
We will confirm pending registrations as we get the current classes sorted out and will fill openings in the order the registrations came in. Thank you for your patience!

THERE'S STILL ROOM IN ZOOM BEGINNING CLASS - SUNDAY, MARCH 7, 11:00AM
Register online now to be added to the list for upcoming Zoom options.
Even if we are able to open for in-person classes, we may continue to offer Zoom classes. These will be a perfect way to start training at home for puppies too-young for group classes and a great option for dogs with behavior issues who are not appropriate or too stressed for a group class.
IN-PERSON GROUP CLASSES:
Please bear with us as we get our delayed students settled.
April/May dates will be posted soon.
Thanks for your patience. We are holding off on posting April/May as keeping up with all of the emails with the delayed student shuffling is daunting. Once we post April/May the flood gates will open, so we are keeping them at bay for our sanity!.
