Group Classes
Dove Landing Training offers motivating and fun group classes.
Dogs learn by association, so obedience is taught using positive methods that include plenty of treats, praise, and games. Engaging your dog’s mind promotes faster learning and helps create meaningful moments between you and your pet. Group classes also offer a great opportunity to connect with other dog owners.
These classes may be a good fit if your dog is comfortable around other dogs, you’re looking for a cost-effective training option, and you enjoy learning in a social setting.
If your dog is reactive toward other dogs or people, shows signs of stress, or becomes overwhelmed in group environments, please contact us for a consultation. We’re happy to create a personalized training plan tailored to your dog’s specific needs.
