Intro to Levels

Levels classes are designed so you and your dog can learn at your own pace! Choose your own schedule from several options that are offered each week.

Levels is our version of Basic Manners Training. You and your dog (6 months and older) can learn at your own pace as our classes allow you to make your own schedule from several classes that are offered each week.

Benefits:

  • Train on Your Terms: No fixed schedules here! Train when it suits you best.
  • Move at Your Pace: Stay in each Level/Tier until you and your dog feel ready to progress.
  • Easy Refreshers: Need a refresher? Simply visit a lower Level/Tier whenever you need.
  • No Missed Sessions: Life happens! If you miss a class, no worries. Pick up right where you left off when you’re ready.
  • Flexible Attendance: Forget rigid 6-week series. Attend on the days that work for you, whether it’s Wednesday one week and Saturday the next.
  • No Falling Behind: Miss a week? No problem! Return to class whenever you’re ready without feeling behind.

Prior to your first class with your dog, you will need to attend our Intro to Levels Training class.

We use Mindbody for our scheduling software.
