Membership Program
Group Training
Our monthly memberships offer a variety of group classes and excursions designed to help your dog expand their world. This program is available to active clients and new members who are ready to take training to the next level through social learning, real-world practice, and continued enrichment.
As our community grows, our offerings will evolve based on the interests and needs of our members, ensuring every dog has opportunities to learn, play, and thrive together.
This program is a great stepping stone for dogs that display reactive behaviors or experience fear, anxiety, or stress in new environments; around people, dogs, or crowds in the pursuit of expanding their worlds. Or people just looking for a community and structured activities to enjoy with their dogs.
We have a variety of rotating monthly Excursions, Classes and Workshops that can be accessed based on what environments your dog is ready to tackle.
Learn and practice skills to set yourself and your dog up for success while being empowered by our experts and community through humane, effective, and evidence-based techniques in this uniquely designed program. This program is designed to be curated to meet active members’ needs.

The locations we choose and what we work on is based on feedback from active members utilizing a modular training curriculum that will grow and change with our active members.
We utilize inside and outside locations. If conditions seem like outdoor would be unsafe, we will work on pivoting the location inside to one of our pre-approved locations.
We focus on having excursions with a variety of physical difficulties to make sure everyone’s needs are met, with a lot of low impact excursions so they can be accessible for all!
We recommend bringing water for yourself and sporting supportive, close-toed shoes. We encourage members of the household to be involved to be able to learn together, if you are planning to bring any children, please reach out to us so we can make sure it's an appropriate environment for them.
Seating will be available, if you need any accommodations, let us know.
