Intro to Skills – Portland

Before attending our in-person skills classes with the dogs, we ask that you participate in this people -only introductory talk. Here, we will cover all the essential information every dog guardian should know, such as appropriately interpreting dog’s body language, the importance of creating an enriching environment for your pet at home, and how to teach dogs new things in a way that helps them (and us) enjoy the learning process together and set everyone up for success.

  • At the end, we will make sure to leave time for questions, so you will have a chance to speak with the instructor directly.
  • We recommend that everyone in the household attends this class together but please remember to leave your dog at home.

You should receive your confirmation email the day you register, the link will then be sent to you 30-minutes prior to class. Please contact us if you have any issues. Email: [email protected]
