Group Dog Training Classes in San Diego
Join our small group classes to learn foundational skills using positive reinforcement training. These classes are often referred to as obedience classes, but we call them our Behavior Building Blocks class series because we know your dog will learn so much more than how to be obedient! Class information and registration are below.
Behavior Building Blocks Class Series
During this class, you will learn to use positive reinforcement training techniques to teach your dog foundational behaviors including Down, Wait, Leave It, Drop It, Relax on a Mat, Leash Walking, and cooperative care concepts for grooming and handling.
We focus on building strong relationships, consistent response to cues, and preparing the dogs to work with distractions as their training progresses.
Completion of this class qualifies students to register for levels 2 and 3 and then on to our second class series—Rise & Shine: Advanced Skills Class.
Behavior Building Blocks is our foundation training class series. This series is divided into levels 1, 2, and 3, and it covers our basic obedience curriculum. As students move through the levels, they learn new skills and strategies to strengthen their dog’s training.
