Games based Concept Training is all about teaching dogs to make better choices – and to give owners the tools to lead their dogs.
All classes are suited for young dogs from 3 months old to senior dogs who want to learn new skills. Instead of teaching behaviors, we teach concepts, such as calmness, focus, optimism, confidence, disengagement, etc. to get real life results! Pet dogs, sports dogs, companion dogs… who doesn’t need more fun in their life? Max. 6 dogs per class, family members are welcome to attend.

Stay Cool – Calm Dog Class
starting June 1st 6.30-7.30pm – 4 weekly classes
Dogs (and puppies) don’t come knowing how to be calm, and waiting for them to settle down can take a while (maybe years!). Instead we can teach them to default to a calm state, faster and more often. In this 4 weeks class, you’ll learn strategies and games that are not only proven to work but also lots of fun!
