group classes

Our Group Dog Training.

  • Small group sizes

    Classes will never have more than 6 dogs in them; most classes are limited to 5 dogs.

  • Supportive

    We know how hard it is to learn a new skill; your dog isn’t the only one learning. At Dog Flower, we prioritize positive feedback for the humans taking our classes, and thrive with your feedback, too.

  • Hand outs

    All of our classes include hand outs which cover exactly what we worked on each week, homework, and videos of the exercises. If you miss a week, it’s no problem- your hand out should easily catch you up.

  • Pragmatic

    Our number one goal is to help YOU reach your goals with your dog. We aim to include exercises and problem solving in our classes that can be implemented by you as soon as you leave class each week. Our hope is that you and your dog grow together through the course of your group class.
