DOG TRAINING CLASSES & PRICING
On-Leash Obedience Course 4 Weeks • $175
Group obedience class at a local brewery!
During this class we will empower both you and your dog to navigate the world together with confidence. Designed specifically for dog owners who enjoy brewery outings and social gatherings, this comprehensive four-week program focuses on building essential obedience skills tailored to real-life scenarios.
Led by the Auntie M professional dog trainer, Megan, who advocates for responsible and ethical training methods based in positive reinforcement, this course offers a personalized approach to teaching basic obedience commands and skills. From sitting politely to navigating crowded spaces with ease, your dog will learn invaluable skills to thrive in public settings.
Throughout the course, we prioritize positive reinforcement techniques while also providing guidance on the responsible use of training tools like prong collars and e-collars on a case-by-case basis. Our goal is to foster a strong bond between you and your dog, built on trust, respect, and clear communication.
Key highlights include:
Basic Commands: Name recognition, heel position, sit, down, come, and leave it.
Advanced Skills: "Tuck" (going under a table into a down position), auto-ignoring dropped food, and neutrality toward people and other dogs.
Environmental Stability: Conditioning for loud and sudden noises, and unusual occurrences.
Greeting Etiquette: Teaching appropriate greetings for both people and dogs, emphasizing calm and polite behavior.
Add on Canine Good Citizen (CGC) testing for an additional $30.
Join us for an enriching journey that will transform your dog into a well-behaved companion, ready to accompany you on all your adventures. Sign up today and unleash your dog's full potential!

1:1 in person training session where our dog trainer comes to your home to begin working with you and your dog to implement the next steps toward reaching your training goals!
Our trainer will teach your new commands, demonstrate how to teach it to your dog, and then transfer the leash to you. We will work in partnership with you so you can feel confident to begin implementing new training commands into your dog’s daily life.
At each training session, you will review the previous week with our trainer and then work on a new command from there. Midway through your implementation plan, we will introduce training tools as needed and discussed and agreed upon in your initial consultation. Dispersed throughout training sessions we will also be incorporating socialization play, grooming, crate training, and other helpful training techniques to reach your goals.
