About Our Classes
Class sizes will be small so we can give you and your dog the attention you deserve. In both the puppy and adult dog classes we will use clicker training and lure/reward training. Both these methods are science-based systems for teaching new behaviors with positive reinforcement. These methods are gentle and effective. Using these positive methods, dogs learn new behaviors quickly, easily and enthusiastically. Positive training methods enhance the relationship between you and your dog by helping you to develop your communication skills. Learning is fun for both you and your dog!
  • Class size will be limited. Classes will be filled as registration forms are received.
  • Classes will be held at Kent Narrows Center, Room 7 (the old Kent Narrows Outlets).
