GROUP CLASSES
PET | SPORT | LEO | DETECTION
OUR GROUP CLASSES ARE KEPT SMALL, INTENTIONALLY.
SMALL COHORTS PROTECT THE QUALITY OF THE EXPERIENCE, GIVE EACH HANDLER MEANINGFUL COACHING, AND MAKE SURE EVERY DOG GETS THE ATTENTION IT NEEDS.
FOR OWNERS, GROUP TRAINING OFFERS MORE THAN REPETITION. IT CREATES OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN HANDS-ON WITH YOUR OWN DOG WHILE ALSO GAINING INSIGHT FROM QUESTIONS, CHALLENGES, AND THE PROGRESS OF OTHERS IN THE ROOM.
OFTEN WATCHING ANOTHER HANDLER WORK THROUGH AN ISSUE HELPS SHARPEN YOUR OWN TIMING, AWARENESS, AND UNDERSTANDING.
THE RESULTS - A MORE VALUABLE TRAINING EXPERIENCE. MORE INTERACTION. MORE FEEDBACK. AND A COMMUNITY YOU CAN LEAN ON.

THE WORKING DOG CLUB
Our Monthly Working Dog Club is built for the handler who wants more than obedience and more than a casual social group. It is for those who see something in their dog, value what that dog is capable of, and want to be surrounded by others who take that responsibility seriously.
MEMBERS ONLY
$249/MO
This is a members-only environment designed to build culture, standards, and community around working dogs and purposeful training.
Admission requires a completed group application and is not guaranteed, because not every dog, handler, or mindset is the right fit for the room.
We are protective of the culture we are building: one rooted in accountability, control, progression, and respect for the work. Continued participation is based on maintaining that standard, and dogs or handlers may be removed if they compromise the safety, structure, or intent of the group.
The goal is to create a place where serious people can sharpen their handling, challenge their dogs, and be part of something that values substance.
Structured Training Environment
Regular club training days
Access to decoys/helpers
Scenario-based work (obedience, bite work, control)
