Foundation classes

Start here based on dog age.

Due to our highly advanced curriculum, a foundational class is mandatory for everyone new to our facility.

 

Our classes are uniquely distinct from any others. We will teach you how to use ethology, neurobiology, and psychology to train your individual dog efficiently.
