Upcoming Group Classes

Our training co-op is thrilled to offer a variety of unique group classes over the next three months at our partner location, Bubbles and Biscuits (8951 Bonita Beach Rd SE #500, Bonita Springs, FL 34135). These classes are designed to challenge your dog’s skills while providing a controlled, supportive, and fun environment. Whether you’re focusing on obedience, agility, or creative enrichment, there’s something here for every dog!

Group Class Overview

What is it? Group classes provide an excellent opportunity to work on training in a controlled, distraction-filled environment. These classes are great as a follow-up to private or day training sessions, helping to solidify learned behaviors.

How do our group classes work? Unlike many training companies that pack numerous handler/dog teams into one class, we limit our class size to ensure each client gets the individualized attention they deserve. This allows for maximum results and a more personalized experience.

We offer two class styles: Sequence Enrollment and One-Topic Wonders:

• Sequence Enrollment: These classes have a set start date, with each lesson building on the previous week’s material. Perfect for structured learning.

• One-Topic Wonders: Fun, individual classes that cover unique and ever-changing topics, designed to keep things fresh and exciting for you and your dog. You can purchase these classes individually to try out a variety of different activities or buy them as a discounted package to explore several topics at once. It’s a great way to discover what you and your pup might enjoy the most!

Pricing: Prices vary depending on class style and length. Group sessions range from $60 to $275 per series and full pricing information is listed in the class details.

If our current class times or offerings don’t meet your needs, feel free to explore each trainer’s individual programs and service areas located in the sections below.

Important: All classes require up-to-date vaccinations (Bordatella, Distemper, Parvo, and Rabies). Be sure to review our Cancellation Policy and Privacy Policy for more details.

Monthly Training Calendar

Obedience Classes

Our obedience courses follow a Sequence Enrollment structure, where each class builds on the skills learned in the previous session, providing a steady progression for you and your dog. With class sizes limited to just 4-6 participants, you'll receive personalized guidance from our experienced trainers, ensuring that each dog gets the attention they need to succeed. This intimate setting helps foster a focused learning environment where dogs and their owners can thrive together.

Puppy Kindergarten (Under 6 months)

Struggling to keep your puppy’s attention? This class covers the basics like sit, down, recall, and loose leash walking while addressing common puppy behaviors like zoomies. Learn training games, management strategies, and how to build a strong bond with your pup.

Quote: “Training a puppy is like raising a child. Every single interaction is a training opportunity.” – Dr. Ian Dunbar

Multi-Level Obedience

This class focuses on obedience commands and building a strong foundation of communication and understanding between dog and handler. Students will learn to recognize the signals that their dogs are offering to them and to send signals back that make sense to the dogs. While you will learn how to teach your dog basic cues such as sit, down, and come, more importantly, you and your dog will begin a lifelong dialogue which will create a solid foundation for students who want a great family pet.

Therapy Dog Prep / Canine Good Citizen (CGC)

Prepare your dog for therapy work or the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. This class builds skills for both dog and handler, with advanced CGC and Urban Canine options for those who want to take their training to the next level.

Training Around Town

Everyday City Skills for Dogs and Their Owners in Real-Life Settings! This class is designed for dog owners who want to improve their dog’s listening and behavior skills while learning how to manage their pet’s manners in real-world environments. Perfect for dogs that have completed basic training, this intermediate-level course helps owners understand and reinforce polite behavior in public. Each session takes place in a different, real-world location—indoors or outdoors—exposing both dogs and their owners to varied surroundings. Together, you’ll work on loose leash walking, polite greetings, and handling distractions, while even learning some fun new tricks. By the end, both you and your dog will be confident, well-prepared, and able to navigate any situation with ease.
