Our group training classes are intentionally kept small to ensure every team receives personalized attention and support. Class sizes are thoughtfully determined based on the size, age, and temperament of participating dogs, creating a safe and productive learning environment.
Small class sizes allow us to tailor instruction and offer hands-on guidance while maintaining the benefits of positive, social learning with other dogs and guardians.
Our group classes take place throughout the Jenn’s Dogs Training Studio, utilizing the full indoor space to help dogs generalize their skills in different environments. By practicing in varied areas with changing setups, you and your dog gain experience working through real-life distractions in a safe, structured setting.

Our group classes take place throughout the Jenn’s Dogs Training Studio, utilizing the full indoor space to help dogs generalize their skills in different environments. By practicing in varied areas with changing setups, you and your dog gain experience working through real-life distractions in a safe, structured setting.
This intentional variation builds confidence, flexibility, and better focus—skills that transfer beyond the classroom and into everyday life.
Every group class includes a detailed training handbook written by Head Trainer Jenn Friedline, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, FDM. These guides are designed to help you carry what you learn in class into your daily life with ease and consistency.
You’ll also receive training sheets, cue breakdowns, and ongoing feedback to support your learning and help your dog succeed at home, in public, and beyond.
Before enrolling in a group class, we invite you and your dog to attend a free evaluation at the Jenn’s Dogs Training Studio. This allows us to get to know your dog’s age, size, temperament, and learning style, so we can recommend the best class fit for your team.
