Group Classes or Private Lessons?

Which is right for me?

Group classes are offered on a rotating schedule based on demand. They are curriculum based, so less flexible and less tailored to individual dog's needs, and are offered on a discounted rate compared to our private lessons. Group classes are not available at all times, so you may end up waiting several months for one to start (especially our specialty classes such as Intro to Agility or Intro to E-Collar.) The benefit of group classes includes teaching your dog to become accustomed to distractions such as other handlers and their dogs, and the lower cost based on the strict curriculum. 


Private Lessons allow for more flexibility, and are tailored to your individual needs, rather than following a curriculum designed for an entire class to follow. They also provide the ability to start training without waiting for a class to start. Private lessons cost more, but offer a personalized training solution for you and your dog.
