Group Classes:
Out and About

Is your dog better behaved at home than he is in public? Would you like to be able to take your dog with you when you’re out and about?

This is the class for you!

We’ll meet at public locations every week and work on common, everyday situations in public.

Get real-time feedback and advice on how to improve your dog’s public social skills. Class locations will be in downtown Frederick in public areas.

Enrollment is limited in order to keep class sizes small -- that way you and your dog get more individual attention and learn faster. And we get to know each of you, your dogs, and what specific problems you're facing.

What you get

  • Small-group instruction (one hour each week) on the things that you need to know about your dog.
  • Easy to read, step-by-step instructions detailing every behavior and topic covered in class. You don't need to take notes, it's all written down for you.
  • Unlimited free e-mail access to your instructor to to discuss your progress, ask questions, or get advice.
  • Varied real-life environment in which to practice and receive coaching on how to best teach your dog.
  • Graduation certificate to show off to your friends and neighbors!
  • A well behaved dog with whom you'll enjoy spending time and can take with you when you're out and about!

How will it help me?

Your dog listens just fine when he's at home, but when he's out he :

  • jumps on people
  • pulls on the leash
  • ignores you
  • barks at dogs or people

Don't worry, we'll help you teach your dog to:

  • sit to be petted
  • walk nicely on leash
  • pay attention to you
  • ignore distractions
  • listen to you
