Are you looking for a class to tackle your specific challenges? Welcome to our MINI classes! These 3-5 week classes focus on one specific topic so you can tackle your challenges and reach your goals!

MINI: Calm Down! Skills for Finding Chill

Do you love your dog but can’t help feeling like sometimes they are just a LOT? You wouldn’t trade them for the world, but wish they could find just a bit more chill? This is the class for you!

Join us for our 3-week “Calm Down!” class. This aim of the class is to give you the skills to teach your dog how to calm themselves down when they start getting amped up. We will cover training games, skills, and real life scenarios to help you develop a clear action plan that keeps the joy in our lives while keeping it from bubbling over into chaos.

This class is suitable for dogs of all ages who have completed Puppy Foundations, Adolescent foundations, or Life Skills Foundations.

MINI: Loose Leash Walking Class

This mini class helps dogs and owners learn foundation skills for controlled, loose leash walking. All dogs should learn to walk with their owners instead of pulling their owners where ever they want to go! Owners are taught proper leash handling, vocabulary for walks, and how to give their dogs the opportunity to still be a dog! Learn how to control your dog on walks without having to overpower him.

MINI: Polite Greetings

Are the first few moments of a guest arriving at your home utter chaos? Tired of shortening the leash and holding on for dear life as people ask to pet your furry hurricane of joy? Join us for a 3 week class focused on polite greetings!

We want to help you take some of the guesswork out of how to handle your dog around people and give you both the skills you need to set yourself up for success. This class will address how to welcome people into your home, how to interact with people in public, and of course, how to keep all of those paws on the floor while we do it!

 

MINI: Table Manners: Self-control around food

Do you need to inprove your dog’s self-control skills around food? We will help you teach your dog how to make better choices from the sight of the food instead of frantically trying to stop them in the act. Whether you’re wanting to have more peaceful mealtimes at home, less stress when trying to eat on resturant patios, or just a more mindful canine companion when guests come over to snack or dine- this class has something for you!

 

MINI: Heeling Specialty Class

Ready to take your dog’s heeling to the next level? Whether you’re preparing for Rally or Obedience trials or simply want your dog to walk beautifully by your side through distractions, this Heeling Specialty Class is designed for you.

This focused class will guide you through the mechanics, communication, and teamwork needed for precise heel work in real-world and trial-like environments. You and your dog will build rhythm, timing, and engagement as you practice maintaining position through movement, distraction, and handler direction.

This class is a perfect complement to dogs already participating in sports like Rally or Competitive Obedience, but it’s also open to pet parents who want to improve their dog’s attention, walking skills, and overall relationship.
