A well-trained dog is nothing without a well-trained owner! Private lessons are a great option for owners who are coachable, involved, and are seriously committed to the entire training process.
Private Lessons may consist of your trainer explaining applicable concepts, demonstrating exercises, troubleshooting specific issues, and providing in-the-moment feedback to improve your handling. Private lessons are the best option when you need guidance that is very specific to your unique situation, or your dog needs tailored guidance before they are ready for a group setting or day training.
Lessons are available one session at a time, or in packs of three sessions.
Group classes are the perfect option for owners who are committed to strengthening their relationship and communication with their dog. In a group class, you and your dog work together as a team while receiving instruction from your trainer. We strive to cultivate fun, open, and supportive class environments!
Some of our group classes follow a structured, progressive syllabus, but we also offer a unique Open-Enrollment set of classes where you can attend just those sessions that fit your schedule.
In order to attend Open-Enrollment classes you need to have had at least one private lesson and you need a Class Pass Monthly Membership. Then you can register for just those sessions that fit your scchedule.
Group classes can be an economical way to get basic training help, stay involved, train around distractions, and improve your skills as an owner!
*Group classes are not an appropriate environment to address aggression, reactivity, fear, or other complex behavioral issues.
Our “Puppy Preschool” is a comprehensive six week course where we will address all aspects of raising a puppy under 6 months of age, including housebreaking, play biting, crate training, confidence building, play, socialization, and the foundations of great communication. These classes teach practical skills you may use every day and are the perfect course to prepare for further goals such as adult obedience and AKC Canine Good Citizen Testing. This course qualifies for AKC STAR Puppy certification.
Our classes are now open-enrollment for anyone with a Class Pass. Class Pass is an $87/month membership (or get a free membership with some of our programs) and then you can register just for the classes that fit your schedule. Classes are only for those who have done at least one private lesson with us. Classes are held Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The Drink with Your Dog project was started by Amber of Summit Dog Training (Colorado USA) to revolutionize the relationship between breweries and dog owners. By setting the standard for exceptional manners and behavior, we hope to do our part in keeping local breweries dog friendly!
This fun, upbeat, 4-week class helps dog owners teach their dogs polite manners in a restaurant or brewery setting such as relaxing on a mat under a table, being approached by strangers and wait staff, ignoring dropped food, etc.
This class is offered seasonally.
