DISCLOSURE: Our group classes move at a fast pace and include up to 8 dogs. If you have difficulty with walking, hearing, strength or stamina, we recommend beginning with private lessons. This allows us to move at your pace and ensure both you and your pup stay safe and successful throughout training.
