Group Obedience Classes for Reactive Dogs

Here are the details for my Group Obedience course. It's a great setting to understand how dogs learn, practice basic commands, and teach your dog neutrality. We welcome dog-reactive and nervous dogs, but for safety, we cannot accept dogs with a bite history in a group setting.

This breaks down the Who, What, and Why of my group obedience training. It's designed for dedicated dog parents looking to practice in a structured environment and improve their handling skills around real-life distractions like other dogs.

It makes me so happy to see my clients and their dogs succeed. Here's what one pet parent had to say after our four-week Group Obedience course. Her dog, Simba, who is reactive on leash, did surprisingly well and they both learned a lot. This is what it's all about.

My group classes are not a free-for-all. I design structured sessions and create scenarios that prepare you and your dog for real-life situations you might encounter on your daily walks.

One of the biggest benefits of group training is learning to work around distractions. Your dog will practice focusing on you even with other dogs, people, and environmental stimuli present.

In my classes, dogs learn what true socialization is: being neutral and calm around other dogs. It's not about playing, but about co-existing peacefully.

These classes are as much for you as they are for your dog. A key benefit is that they help improve your skills as a pet parent, making you a more confident and effective handler.

The work we do in group classes goes a long way in building your dog's confidence and strengthening the trust between you. This improved bonding is one of the most rewarding parts of the training journey.
