Group Classes

WE DO GROUP CLASSES DIFFERENTLY.

​

For a long time, group training classes were something that we had no interest in doing. Because over and over again… we saw them fail for dog owners. As dog training professionals, we need to do better. Group classes were too cookie cutter, too much like a classroom and not enough like the real world (where good behavior matters most)! So when we finally decided to create a group class training option for dog owners just like you, we wanted to accomplish 3 things:

  • To create an environment that replicates REAL WORLD behavior challenges.

  • To have flexible curriculums, instead of a cookie-cutter course.

  • To bring your dog well beyond the “basics” and provide great training results that last​​.

​

So we did just that.

Instead of having a dog who will only “sit” if there are no distractions around and a treat in front of their nose, you can have a dog who is cooperative not only in and out of the home, but also with being handled (like nail trims!), and more confident and in tune with you.

​

See what’s included:

  • A safe indoor space with classes supervised by a qualified dog training professional.

  • Access to bonus classes, outings, and “real world” training opportunities.

  • A format that is designed to bring you results.

  • Class options to fit your needs. 

​

Class Rules

 

  • One adult handler per dog in class, but the entire family is welcome to attend.

  • Dog and Owner teams are required to have attended at least one Private Lesson or Evaluation with Gallatin K9 or Training With Play before being accepted into the group classes. This is to ensure all the dogs attending are safe, ready to learn and able to accept the group class setting. If you have any questions please contact either Gallatin K9 or Training With Play. 

  • The first week is a classroom style session and no dogs will be allowed at the first class.

  • ALL GROUP CLASSES CAN BE ACCESSED THROUGH OUR CLIENT PORTAL AFTER CREATING AN ACCOUNT.
