Each person must bring a secondary handler with them. Pre-reqs for this class are having worked with Heather in a behavior consultation, having taken a class with one of our instructors, or having a pre-screened 15-minute phone consultation. We are going to dive deep into behavior modification and practice in real-life scenarios. We understand how frustrating, scary, humiliating, and misunderstood these scenarios are. If your dog barks/lunges and loses their mind around other dogs or people while on a leash, this class was designed to help you. This intense course is for serious handlers who are committed to changing their dog’s reactions to triggers around them.

This is a focused class for dogs who struggle to go on walks due to their reaction towards other dogs or humans. We offer 16 DIFFERENT classes – the biggest selection in the Midwest! In addition, our patented A LA CARTE classes are only 4 weeks long to help busy dog moms and dads hone in on single skills without a huge time commitment. And we LOVE to talk about this, so please ask us!

Whether you have an 8 wk old Chihuahua or an 11 year old Newfoundland, we have the perfect class for you! We are transparent in any equipment we recommend and what methods we will be using in class. With over 25+ years of experience in their back pockets, our trainers have heard every training issue that you can throw at them. We are committed to bringing you the most progressive methods in our field, and to staying current with the literature that supports this. By reinforcing behaviors that you WANT, those behaviors become strongest in your dog’s repertoire. Our training philosophy centers around science based behavior principles and aligns with the most accepted best practices endorsed by the American Veterinary Medical Association, American Animal Hospital Association, American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviorists, and the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. It is much easier to teach your dog what to do rather than trying to continuously stop unwanted behaviors. Training your dog should be primarily about building a relationship, not creating a dictatorship. Our classes are anything but dull or militant – hence our unique “date night with your dog” approach to training classes! Our approach to training is very different than that of a typical dog trainer. Our classes are intensely informative with a dash of flair to create an upbeat, positive environment. If you would like to transfer to another class, please let us know FIVE days before the class begins so that we may contact our waiting list to fill your spot. Just ask your instructor, as it is important that we relay the class information to you and your pup. We have many options for making up a missed class. If your dog is exhibiting issues that are beyond a group class, we can use your enrollment fee towards a private lesson. Once the class has begun, we regret that we are unable to refund your $30 class enrollment fee.
