Group Classes
Group classes are social events for your dog where they get to learn how to focus around distractions. You learn how to resolve various issues that you may already be struggling with at home or may struggle with in the future. Since you will have control of your dog during class, your dog learns to work for you. Plus, if your dog is a young puppy, you may still have a window of time to socialize your puppy in class while they are little learning sponges. The younger the dog, the more impressionable they are. When dogs are puppies, one good interaction can add that object, person, or dog, to the puppy’s “I like this!” list for life. This is a powerful piece of information, but the door swings both ways. This is why you will want a good trainer by your side to help you make smart choices on what to expose your puppy to and how you should do it.
