Life Skills

****   New and Improved Life Skills Classes   ****

Life Skills Level One:

Setting the foundation for a well-behaved, confident, and connected companion!

Support your dog in becoming their best self with this fun and engaging class that teaches the everyday manners every dog should know!

Together, you will build solid foundations in everyday essentials like sit, down, settling, recall, polite leash walking, “leave it” and more. This class is perfect for dogs of all ages and breeds—whether you’re starting fresh with a new puppy or brushing up on skills with your adult dog. 

Beyond the basics, this class focuses on building your dog’s focus and engagement with you—strengthening communication, trust, and teamwork. Open to dogs of all ages and breeds. 

Please note: this class is not suitable for dogs with aggression or reactivity issues.
