ONLINE CLASSES NOW AVAILABLE ! As COVID-19 continues to reshape our lives, we're pleased to announce online classes now available.  We've been practicing with a couple of the classes that hadn't finished when the quarantine order hit, and we're now ready to offer some new classes!

See the class tab for more information

 We hope everyone is observing good social distancing when they must be outside their homes.  Fortunately, our dogs don't get this bug so play and train all you can for the support you both can share!  

As the pandemic continues, we'll keep you informed here of what is happening at the Gym.

Quality and Attention

Gym instructors are certified by the Karen Pryor Academy of Animal Behavior & Training, or working toward that credential.

We also have decades of experience teaching adults in other settings including physical therapy, on the job safety and risk management, secondary and college education.

Our dog training classes are small, currently 3 or 4 students in each lesson.  Each dog and owner has a personal space to work with minimal distractions and lots of personal attention from the instructor.

 Join us for classes in a temporary location.  We'll be offering a limited class schedule with the same great instructors while looking for a new location.
