Advanced Off-Leash Obedience Group Class
Imagine hiking trails, visiting parks, or enjoying pet-friendly events with the confidence that your dog will come when called, stay where you place them, and make good decisions.
Our Advanced Off-Leash Obedience Program uses modern e-collar training as a communication tool. Through proper conditioning, your dog learns that the e-collar is simply another way to receive information from you, creating reliability at distances where a leash can't reach.
✅ Reliable Recall
✅ Off-Leash Heel
✅ Place & Duration Work
✅ Distance Commands
✅ Real-World Distraction Training
✅ Increased Freedom & Safety
The goal is control and safety. When used correctly, the e-collar becomes your dog's "Bluetooth leash," the insurance policy, allowing them more freedom while maintaining a strong connection with you.
Every dog is different, which is why all training programs begin with a free evaluation to determine your goals and create a plan that fits your dog.
5 weeks -$200 (does not include equipment)
Equipment can be purchased for $200. Please allow adequate time for equipment to arrive.

Socialization and Real-World Confidence Group Class
Socialization is about far more than simply meeting other dogs. This class is designed to help dogs build confidence, neutrality, and good decision-making skills in the real world. Through carefully structured training exercises and exposure to new environments, dogs learn how to navigate everyday situations calmly and confidently while staying engaged with their handler.

Teams will visit a variety of pet-friendly locations to practice skills around real-world distractions such as people, shopping carts, outdoor dining areas, unfamiliar sounds, moving objects, and other animals. The goal is to create a dog that can accompany you through daily life without becoming overwhelmed, reactive, or overly excited.
Dogs will work on leash manners, engagement, impulse control, confidence-building exercises, and appropriate behavior in public settings. Whether your dog is shy, excitable, easily distracted, or simply needs more experience in the world, this class provides a safe and structured way to develop the skills needed for success.
Skills Focused On:
• Confidence in new environments
• Neutrality around people and dogs
• Engagement with the handler despite distractions

Perfect for puppies, adolescent dogs, newly adopted dogs, or any dog that could benefit from more positive exposure to the world. The objective isn't to make your dog greet everyone they meet—it's to create a dog that can confidently and calmly exist in the world around them.
