Group Classes

We teach Puppy Preschool and Puppy Kindergarten classes at the San Diego Humane Society on Saturdays. Puppy classes are a wonderful way to get a head start on socialization and to learn basic skills.

We firmly believe that adolescent dogs (between 5-10 months) need ongoing socialization to other dogs in a structured setting. This period in a dog’s life is often fraught with insecurity and a lack of impulse control. This class focuses on proper interactions both on and off leash, along with attention to owners, settling on cue, and impulse control exercises.

Learn how to teach your dog tricks that are sure to impress! Tricks are a fun way to build a better relationship with your dog while teaching them body awareness and increasing confidence. Spin, wave hi, play dead, and leg weaves are just a few of the tricks you’ll come away with. Our Tricks class is suitable for some shy and reactive dogs – in fact we find that they thrive in this environment! If you really want to test you and your dog’s ability, consider aiming for an AKC Trick Title which this class can prepare you for.

Our Drop in Style classes are a popular option for clients looking for ways to expand their dog’s training to other environments and dogs. These are small classes (3-4 dogs) that are offered on a monthly basis, with a variety of topics and locations throughout San Diego. Our most popular classes include:

Group Walk: For dogs who need to improve their behavior around other dogs while on leash. We begin class as a group walk where the dogs have a chance to get accustomed to each other’s presence, and then add in more structured training exercises. An emphasis on attention to you, coming away from other dogs on cue, walk bys, and general calmness.

Obedience Using Platforms: Klimb platforms are a fun tool for building obedience! This class is for owners who want to teach their dog to be more attentive and responsive to them. An emphasis on eye contact, stay, and heel work. Some shy or reactive dogs OK.

Fun and Games:  For dogs and owners who want to have a fun way to engage with each other. This class has a variety of “obstacle" courses along with fun training games and scent detection exercises. Some shy or reactive dogs OK.

Stay and Recall: For dogs who need to build their stay and recall behaviors. An emphasis on building stay with duration, distance, and distractions, and recall away from other dogs/distractions. Some shy or reactive dogs OK.

Poised in Public: For owners who want to bring their dog to dog friendly establishments but would like to improve their dog’s manners in public. An emphasis on attention around distractions, leash skills, and settling on cue. Great for puppies, dogs preparing for Canine Good Citizen, or just to advance your dog’s skill set.
