Namaste Dog TrainingFind the Right Training for Your Dog
Every dog and every family is different. Pick the situation that sounds most like yours and we'll point you to the best place to start.
I have a new puppy (or a dog new to training)
Start with Dog 1: Puppy & Beginner Obedience. Puppies can join at 10 weeks once they have had their boosters, and adult dogs are welcome too. Covers nipping, jumping, potty training, and core cues.
Dog 1 details and dates →My dog knows the basics but loses focus
Dog 2: Obedience adds distraction, distance, and duration: loose leash walking, heel, reliable recall, and a calm "go to bed" cue.
Dog 2 details and dates →I want the AKC Canine Good Citizen title
Dog 3: Canine Good Citizen Prep works through all 10 CGC test items, with the official evaluation offered at the end of class.
Dog 3 details and dates →We are training for public access or therapy work
Dog 4: Public Access & Urban CGC trains in real-world settings like stores, sidewalks, and cafes, and supports CGCA and CGCU titles.
Dog 4 details →We just want to have fun together
Trick Dog Class builds confidence and bonding with spins, bows, hoop jumps, and more. Graduates can test for AKC Trick Dog titles.
Trick Dog details →My dog is reactive, anxious, or struggling at home
Start with a private consultation. We will assess your dog one-on-one, build a plan, and let you know if and when a group class makes sense.
Private training options →I want to train, but I don't have the time
Our Take & Train Program picks your dog up, trains one-on-one, and brings them home with photo and video updates. New clients start with a consultation.
Take & Train details →I'm not sure where my dog fits
Book a 30-minute training evaluation. We'll see whether group class or private training is the better fit, whether your dog can skip ahead a level, or whether they're ready to test for a title. Just have a quick question? A phone consultation or a quick text works too.
Evaluation and phone consultation details →Group Classes vs. Private Training
Both use the same positive, force-free methods. The difference is the setting and how much one-on-one attention you need.
