IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT OUR CLASSES:
If your dog is aggressive, please call Chris at 386-677-8519 before submitting an application. Most aggressive dogs do NOT do well taking a group class as the first step to become rehabilitated. There are a number of rehab type trainers in our area who can help you in a one on one, calm and safe setting. Many times, it is not fair to an aggressive dog to start their journey in a group of untrained handlers and dogs. Do not bring an aggressive dog to class without FIRST talking to Joan and the instructor for the class you are interested in. When selecting a rehab trainer, be sure to interview a few to find the right fit for you and your dog.
We do not train dogs to be service dogs. It takes months to train a service dog. Our classes are only seven weeks long. If you are in need of a service dog, there are national agencies that can help find the right dog for you.
