Group Dog Training Classes

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.

This intentional variation builds confidence, flexibility, and better focus—skills that transfer beyond the classroom and into everyday life.

 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.

It’s also a great opportunity to meet our trainers, explore the space, and help your dog feel comfortable before training begins. Our goal is to create safe, engaging, and well-matched classes where every dog can thrive.

 Designed for puppies aged 8 to 16 weeks, this class lays the foundation for a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. You and your puppy will explore the world together through guided socialization, confidence-building activities, cooperative care (husbandry) skills, and safe, moderated play.

Our force-free approach supports early learning during your puppy’s critical development window, improving their resilience, emotional regulation, and social success throughout life. Early training can reduce future behavior challenges and help your puppy thrive in any environment.
