You’re Not Alone - So Let’s Train Together

We understand you might be facing some ups and downs while training, so our goal is to provide you with, not only the tools and knowledge necessary to overcome these challenges, but also the community that will help create a positive change in your pup’s behavior!

Whether you have a new puppy that needs a positive introduction to training or if you have a dog that is always at the end of their leash, our group classes offer a dynamic space where both dogs and their humans can learn, grow, and thrive side by side with other pet parents. Rooted in positive reinforcement, our classes ensure that each step of the training journey is not only effective, but also fun for both you and your pup!

Classes are offered in partnership with Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District.
