GROUP TRAINING

Anchor 2

"It's like we finally both speak the same language. He seems to have more respect for my commands. And another big one, he understands when it's time for play and when it's time to relax." 

Amanda Wiles/Client

​Creekside's group class are designed with owner and dog in mind, not capacity. Classes are kept small on purpose to guarantee each client and dog gets the attention they need.  At Creekside we don't believe in boxing our dogs in with strict obedience work. Instead we want to make sure you and your dog have the ability to maintain and apply certain basic skills, while also learning how to transition in and out of these as needed. Our group classes will help you  have an "obedient" dog who can still have liberty and enjoy life outside the box.

The Basics 101 & 102

The Basics group class will provide you and your dog with a solid foundation of valuable skills. You will learn how to use these skills not to make your dog live in strict obedience, but to have the clarity needed to understand expectations.

Training Through Play

The goal of our Training Through Play class is not just to unlock the joy of playing with your dog, but to learn how to properly utilize "play." By embracing your dogs natural drive instead of trying to suppress it, you can enhance your training experience, your dogs life, and the overall relationship with your dog.

This class will answer the following questions:

  • What is play?

  • Is play training?

  • Won't play during training ruin focus?

  • Isn't tug negative or detrimental to relationship?

  • What if my dog doesn't like to "play?"

  • How do I keep play positive and fun for everyone?​

Through discussion and hands on we will introduce:

  • Mindset Navigation

  • Toys over treats

  • Team play

  • Agility incorporation

*Some form of training foundation is strongly recommended.

Eight week course- $260

Bundle (101 & Play)- $414
