Private Lessons &
Group Classes

Our Complete Programs include private lessons, and some include group classes too. Some owners, however, prefer to focus only on private lessons and group classes. 
Our current group class schedule is at the bottom of this page!

Personalized one-on-one coaching

Private lessons

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.

Have fun with your dog while you both learn!

Group Classes

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!

Our unique Open-Enrollment scheduling allows you to attend just those sessions that fit your schedule, or come to every class! 

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.

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.

OPEN-ENROLLMENT CLASS PASS

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. 

Caffeinated Canines Saturdays at 10:30am

A relaxed gathering with coffee and donuts. Come hang out with other dogs and people and practice having a calm dog in busier environments. A great chance to ask questions of your trainer. 

Weekly Work Sessions Wednesdays and Saturdays (rotating schedule)

An active class to focus on loose leash walking, obedience commands and distractions. If you’re working towards your Canine Good Citizen tests, this class will give you lots of prep work. 

Social Skills 1st and 3rd Wednesdays

This class will focus on social skills when meeting people or around other dogs. Depending on who is in class, we may have interactive dog-to-dog play time.

Chill Skills Wednesdays and Saturdays (rotating schedule)

This class is focused on the strategies we teach dogs to be more calm and confident. We will practice strategies like “treat for calm,” conditioned relaxation, behavioral downs, and work on strategies like play to help dogs learn how to get excited, then calm themselves back down.

Beginners Saturdays at 1pm

This class is specifically focused on beginner skills such as markers, timing, leash work, learning basic commands, motivation skills, and anything else you need. Anyone with a Class Pass can attend all our classes, but this one is geared towards less experienced dogs and their people.

We have been customers for years. I’ve had several dogs do training here. The Hostler family are great people, it's a great business, they take great care of the pets. I trust Elizabeth implicitly, the staff really cares and it shows in their work for your pets. They truly provide loving care to your pets!
