Group Training - All Levels
Our classes are positive reinforcement, motivation, and rewards-based training sessions with a focus on solving real-life dog training challenges. The BabyDog trainers are here to help you and your dog learn to communicate well and get reliable results, and our group classes are the perfect way to do it.
We keep our group sizes small, which means you get the benefits of socialization, but without the stress that comes from a large group. This is a great opportunity for your canine companion to learn the basic commands, or more advanced skills in a controlled environment, while still learning to focus in while there are minor distractions.
