    We will play games, socialize, have fun, and learn.

    Tuition: $250 for one class a week for five weeks.

  • Adult Basic Manners

    This class is for the older kids 10 months and up who have never had training, need a refresher, or maybe just joined your family and could use the basics!

    Here we will learn handler stance, leash hold, focus, sit, heel, automatic sit, down, stay, come, break, and some fun extras.

    Tuition: $350 for one class a week for five weeks.

  • Adult Intermediate

    Prerequisite: Adult Basic

    Reviewing what we learned in Adult Basics we will solidify the sit, down, stay, come, and heel, and add duration to our stays to help ensure you and your dog have a solid foundation.

    We will introduce the "Finish" and Place" commands, learn how to sit politely for pets, and of course have fun!

    Tuition is $350 for a five (5) week course

  • Adult Advanced (AKC Evaluation optional)

    Prerequisite: Adult basics and Adult Intermediate.

    CGC dogs are well-mannered dogs that have proven they know the basics and beyond.

    We will briefly review those, and then move on to cover the ten skills required to pass the Canine Good Citizen evaluation. Skills covered include: politely greeting a stranger, loose leash walking, sitting politely for petting, grooming and appearance, sit and down stays, walking through a crowd, come, reactions to other dogs, reaction to distractions, and supervised separation.

    Tuition is $350 once a week for 6 weeks

    If you would like to take the CGC evaluation for certification at the end there is an additional $50 fee to cover supplies.

    CGC is just the beginning of the certifications you can get for your dog.

  • Private Lessons (Adult Basic & Intermediate)

    One-on-one lessons are for the doggos that need a little boost in confidence before joining a larger group. These would be for our shy, fearful, even a little snarky kiddos. This is also for the pet parents who would rather go at their own pace and have lots of 1 on 1 with the instructor. We will tailor a lesson plan to the unique needs of you and your star pupil.

    This class comes with a guarantee (for the life of your dog) for drop-in group classes, for any module you feel you need to work on. This will be based on group class availability.

    Tuition: $450.00 for 5 one hour sessions which can be held at our training site in Rainier OR or we can come to your home.

  • Private Target Training

    For those pet parents needing assistance with a behavior such as walking on leash, recall, and jumping up on people, we can help.

    The initial session will be 90 minutes to allow you to learn the new skill or technique, practice, and get feedback on day one.

    Tuition: $150 for the first session and $75 for each one-hour follow-up session based on need.

  • Field Trips! (Walk and Train)

    COMING SOON!

    Your pupper needs to walk so why not bundle it with a training session? Let us walk your dog and work on loose leash walking, barking at other people or dogs, or confidence. Just let us know what you would like us to focus on while on this field trip.
