HOW TO REGISTER FOR CLASS:
.
Ready to Get Started?
We'd love to help you and your dog build a strong, happy relationship! Here's how to register for a workshop:
1. Contact Us:
The first step is to reach out through email, website or phone. This helps us understand your dog's unique needs and goals for training. We'll discuss your dog's age, breed, size, training goals, and any current challenges you're facing.
Why is this important?
Personalized Training: By understanding your needs, we can recommend the best workshop for you and your dog or discuss in-home or in-studio private training as an option.
The Right Fit: In some cases, a behaviorist might be a better option for addressing specific behavioral issues.
Space Availability: Our workshops are popular and fill up quickly! We can confirm there's space available before you register.

Once we've chatted (via text, email or phone) and confirmed the workshop is a good fit for your dog, you can register online. A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required to reserve your spot. Of course you are welcome to pay the entire class fee ($165) up front if you choose.
3. Get Ready for Fun!
Our workshops are designed to be fun, interactive, educational and low-stress for both you and your dog. We only use positive reinforcement, bond-building training techniques.
Important Notes:
Missing a Class: If you have to miss a class in the workshop, we will be happy to go over the commands you missed at the beginning of the next class. We will show you one-on-one to help you understand how to accomplish the results you are looking for with your dog.
