Who are our FREE Play Groups for?
Our Play Groups are for anyone interested in safer positive play or a more compliant dog. Why pay $100 – $200 for a group class when learnings do not translate outside of the dog training facility. Play Groups are hosted in a variety of settings and provide ubiquitous associations, and as such, are not environmentally dependent. Play Group participation does not require your dog to demonstrate command compliance.
Play Group learning is more about your dog learning to respect other dogs and people along with developing self-control in a natural positive environment. As such, playgroups set your dogs up for success and can reduce the occurrence of anxiety and behavioral challenges requiring further instruction.
And, should you dog need further training, your playgroup experience will make training easier as our Practical Pet Protocols naturally extend the foundation of your dogs’ positive associations with learning. It is common for dogs who participate in our home training program to learn how to calm down and lower their energy level on command… as well as in response to old triggers.
Who Leads the Play Groups?
Our program is facilitated by a professional dog trainer, who is a graduate of the Canine Trade Group and skilled in Playgroup Learning.
