How Our Group Classes Method Works
Most dogs can sit perfectly in your kitchen. The problem is the second another dog walks past, or a kid runs by, or someone says hi at the park, the obedience evaporates. Group classes solve that. Your dog learns to focus on you while another dog walks by, holds a sit-stay around real distractions, and recovers from over-arousal in real time. Small class sizes (4-6 dogs) mean every handler gets individual coaching, and our progressive structure lets your dog start where they are, puppy kindergarten, adult foundations, advanced obedience, or our Reactive Rover small-group format for leash-reactive dogs.
Common Group Classes Issues We Solve in Los Angeles
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place. We work with Los Angeles dogs and families on:
- Leash pulling and lunging on walks
- Jumping on guests, strangers, and other dogs
- Constant barking at triggers and over-arousal
- No reliable sit, stay, down, come, or place
- Pulling toward every dog, person, or distraction
