GROUP TRAINING ​​CLASSES
Is group training right for your dog?
Dogs best-suited for group classes are ones that are generally social and non-reactive to other dogs and humans when on leash. If your dog is fearful or anxious around dogs and people or is reactive on or off leash, one of my private training programs is a better fit for you right now. If you’re not sure if your dog would do well in a group environment, we can give you a free evaluation with a meet and greet.
Obedience & Enrichment Group Classes
307K9 offers group classes that focus on fun, practical exercises and games that focus on a variety of behaviors so you and your dog become a cohesive, functionally working team. Together we can help to improve your and your dog’s skills, cope with distractions, improve focus, and more!
All group obedience training class participants will have completed a Coaching Program, a Day School Program, or a Meet & Greet before attending group obedience classes.
GOOD MANNERS CLASS
Foundational skills that will assist you in developing a basic level of communication: sit, wait at doors, loose leash walking, down, short stay, come on a short lead, place (or go to bed), self-control with low distraction, sit to greet, and tricks.
BEY​OND MANNERS CLASS
Beyond Manners Class is an advanced class that strengthens dogs’ Leash Skills, Polite Greeting, & Reliable Recall Skills by introducing training exercises that are more challenging and useful in the real world. This is a great opportunity for fine-tuning specific issues related to jumping on people, coming when called, and pulling on the leash.
​SCENTWORK SERIES

Follow the Nose – Intro to ScentWork
This class is open to all dogs. Reactive dogs are welcome as long as they are reactive to dogs and not people. This foundation class introduces the concept of the game, builds handler observation skills and timing, and gets dogs focused. Food or a toy are used to build a hunting drive while keeping the game fun, building confidence, and burning lots of mental and physical energy. This is offered every month from September through April.

The Nose Knows – Intro to Odor
In this class instead of food, an odor is introduced and we start with Birch. Searches expand in difficulty along with leash handling skills. The course will focus on containers and interiors and is offered weekly September through April.
