Dog School Classes in Boston

A daily schedule of classes where your dog learns one-on-one and alongside other dogs, with pickup and drop-off around Greater Boston.

Overview

We offer 3 hour and 6 hour schedules for dog classes, with pickup and drop-off available within the greater Boston area. Your dog learns one-on-one and in a group setting, and gets time to play with the other dogs in the program.

Our trainers are certified AKC Evaluators, with qualifications in the S.T.A.R. Puppy program and the Canine Good Citizen program. Throughout class they work on sit, stay, lay, leave it, off, place, loose-leash walking, impulse control and agility.

Middle and walking

Middle teaches your dog to come to your side and sit in the heel position. It is excellent for crowded places and potentially dangerous situations and builds the foundation for more complex commands.

Leave it

Leave it teaches your dog to ignore something, whether that is food on the sidewalk, something dangerous, or other dogs and people on a walk.

Agility

Agility builds fitness and coordination, provides mental stimulation and strengthens teamwork, while burning off the excess energy that leads to boredom behaviors.
