Virtual Training for you and your dog.

Online Training available beginning mid August 2025

A busy schedule and limited time don't have to impede your dog training goals.

In-person group training classes are not always a good fit for every dog or every person. Maybe your dog gets nervous or overly excited around other dogs. Maybe your dog doesn’t ride so well in the car. No matter the reason keeping you from joining an in person session, we have online training options available to help you reach your training goals and support you on your journey to a well-mannered furry friend, from the comfort and safety of your own home.

(This page is in the process of being revised and updated - check back as more classes become available for online formatting - in the mean time if links do not work directly from this page - they will work from the Class Calendar page)

Advantages of online classes:

Receive instruction and coaching from the same expert trainers you would work with during in-person classes
Save time traveling back and forth to class
Fewer distractions for your dog so you don’t have to compete for his/her attention during classes
Fewer distractions for you so you can focus better during instructions and demonstrations
Attend class from anywhere and stay on track with your dog’s training, even when you’re away from home

Will I still see results from online classes?

Yes! When we’re working with you and your dog in class, our goal is to coach you, the owner, on how to teach each behavior or skill to your dog. The real work happens when you leave class and practice what you learned. It doesn’t matter if you’re learning online or in person, as long as you’re learning!

Which online classes are available?

We have two online class formats available: Live Zoom Classes and On-Demand Classes (coming late 2025)

Basic Manners and Puppy Classes are available in both formats.

Tricks, Canine Fitness, Living Room Treibball, and Brain Games for Bowser classes are currently available via Live Zoom - check our calendar for details.

Live Zoom Classes:

Our live Zoom classes meet in real time for about 1 hour each week via Zoom meeting. Each class has a topic with live instruction and demonstration of several obedience exercises. The instructor explains and demonstrates the skills, then observes in real time as each participant practices that skill with their dog. The instructor is at home in their space, and each person is participating safely from their own home. There is time to discuss and ask questions in the group, just like in an in-person class.

Each class (Puppy Kindergarten and the Polite Pooch) will have a Google Online Classroom where questions and feedback can take place. Video and photos can also be posted as you work through the homework each week. Student submissions in the Google Classroom are only visible to the instructor.

Cost: Polite Pooch Classes meet for six consecutive weeks at the same time each week. The six week class costs $225

Puppy Kindergarten Classes meet for 5 consecutive weeks at the same time each week. The five week class costs $200

Please note: AKC requires STAR Puppy testing to be completed in person, so completing the online portion only is not eligible for the AKC STAR Puppy title or certificate. (An add on in person evaluation can be purchased separately if interested)

Check out the Services tab on our Facebook Page for the most up-to-date information and to see class topics for each week. To sign up, visit our calendar.

On-Demand Classes:

Our On-Demand classes are more flexible and do not require you to attend at a specific time. Each week, a new lesson is posted online in an Online Google Classroom. You can read the instructions and watch the demonstration videos any time after they are posted. You can post your homework video clips, questions, or comments under the corresponding Lesson Homework assignment in the group - which is only visible to the instructor

Cost:

Polite Pooch - $225 for 6 weeks of lessons.

You will have access to the group for 6 months and can go back and re-watch any of the material as much as you want during that time.

Puppy Kindergarten - $200 for 5 weeks of lessons.

You will have access to the group and the material for 2 months and can go back and re-watch any of the videos and read the material as many times as you want during that time.
