Specialty Classes
Break it Down. Build it up. Skill Specific Classes.
Our 4-6 week Specialty Classes are all about dialing in the details. Whether it’s better walks, a more reliable recall, or teaching your dog how to settle, each class focuses on one skill and shows you exactly how to build it step by step. We break each skill down so you can build clarity, consistency, and reliability in real life situations, not just in class.

Are your goals to have a great relationship with your dog that you hope to have great off leash control? This class is just for you! We will have 6 weeks to practice in a safe environment to test you and your dogs skills and relationship to work towards having off leash control. We start practicing indoors and work our way up to outside, on long lines, to work up to off leash freedom.
Requirements:
Must have completed the basics, intermediate and advanced classes to join this class. You have worked so hard to build that amazing relationship with your dog, let's take it to the next level! Your dog may surprise you by earning off-leash freedom, or you may learn that your dog may never reach that point but can still enjoy the freedom of a 30-50 foot long line. It is better to practice in a safe controlled environment.

Walk This Way focuses on helping dogs and their owners build better leash skills and more enjoyable walks together. This class is available in both 4-week and 6-week formats, allowing owners to choose the schedule that best fits their needs.
Dogs and handlers will work on engagement, focus, leash handling, and learning how to move together as a team instead of pulling from place to place. We'll practice navigating distractions and building skills that help walks feel calmer and more connected.
Since every dog and owner learns differently, we'll explore a variety of positive reinforcement techniques to help you find what works best for your individual walking style and goals. This class helps walks feel calmer, more connected, and more successful for both ends of the leash, giving you the tools, skills, and confidence needed for a stronger bond with your dog.
