Classes
Classes at K-10 Dog Training, no matter the age of your dog, focus on building a solid positive relationship between you and your pet. The lessons use methods backed by science and focus on skills and knowledge that help you and your dog build a life that is mutually rewarding.
Family Dog Mediation is core to all classes. It’s important to investigate why the behavior is happening before focusing on how to change it. Understanding that animal behavior is dictated by the interaction of four primary elements: Learning, Environment, Genetics & Self (L.E.G.S.). Find more information on L.E.G.S on the Family Dog Mediator page.
Private Lessons
Because no two dogs are exactly alike and no two families have exactly the same needs, my preferred training format is private, one-on-one lessons. Private lessons allow me to focus on your needs and those of your dog.
In addition, private lessons allow for schedule flexibility. Classes can be scheduled around your child’s school activities, scheduled appointments, shifting work schedule, etc.
Classes are held at the K-10 location and are purchased in packages of 5 lessons. First time clients also receive an orientation class where you learn more about the training as well as how dogs learn. There is no charge for the orientation class if you train at K-10 Dog Training.
Group Classes
Like private lessons, unless otherwise specified, group classes are 5 weeks in length. For most group classes, there is a minimum class size is 2 and maximum class size is 4 unless otherwise noted. For new clients, an orientation is also included at no charge if you train at K-10 Dog Training.
It should be noted that a group class format is not a good fit for dogs with excessive reactivity or aggressive tendencies as the dog’s ability to learn in that environment is compromised.
