We are currently offering in-person classes in accordance with standard COVID-19 restrictions. This allows the dogs to get critical socialization and exposure to distractions, while you receive detailed coaching as you work with your dog.

Please note that in the event of sudden changes to business restrictions, classes in progress may be postponed or switched to drop-off classes as necessary.

Group classes are ideal for dogs who need general obedience training or puppies in need of socialization. All of our classes are limited to six participants to ensure that you get as much hands-on support as possible!

Class locations, pricing, and schedules are listed in the class descriptions below. Please make sure you review our class policies before registering.

Please note that classes tend to fill up several weeks in advance – register early to hold a spot!

*General obedience classes are not suitable for dogs who have any fear, aggression, high anxiety, or reactivity issues directed toward either people or other dogs. Dogs attending classes at the west Edmonton facility cannot have any excessive barking issues as this is a shared space. Reactive dogs are welcome in our Barkers Anonymous class. Fearful dogs can join us in Confident Canines. For aggression and anxiety, we can better assist you and your dog in our Private Training or Day Training sessions.*
