Group Behavior Classes for Dogs of All Ages

Its like attending a party with your dog

Group training sessions are a great way for you to train your dog to be social and comfortable around other dogs and other people. Puppies learn to model the behavior or older dogs and develop good behavior. And you’ll develop friendships with fellow dog owners that could last a lifetime.

The Benefits Of Group Behavior Training:

Expert Guidance

With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Lincoln has extensive knowledge on the subject of animal behavior and will be with you every step of the way.

Cost Effective

Group sessions are typically less expensive than one on one training sessions. The cost depends on the number of attendees.

Socialize Your Dog

Your dog will become more comfortable around other dogs, and they might even learn a thing or two from their new friends!

Learn New Games

Training sessions involve learning lots of fun new games and exercises that will become part of your routine with your dog.

Practice with Distractions

Group sessions train your dog to learn to behave in the presence of other people and other dogs – mimicking real world situations that are naturally filled with distractions.

Build Relationships

Not only will your dog make new friends during my group sessions – you will too! You’ll be able to swap stories and information with other dog owners.

“Class is wonderful. Personalized attention and your background as a veterinarian and animal behaviorist helps so much to see things from the dogs point of view.”

– Barb Cerrito

Beginner Level. Instructor, Carolyn Lincoln. This class focuses on the beginning agility skills for handlers and dogs to be competition ready. Each class will focus on the connection between the handler and the dog, foundation skills, handling skills and obstacle basics using short sequences and isolated obstacles. This class will eventually progress to full sequences in preparation for competition.

Prerequisites: Assessment test with the ability to do some or many of the obstacles. Instructor approval required and a completed waitlist form on file.

We start on time, keep things moving and the energy high, so you and your dog leave happy with improved skills.

Note: If your dog has aggressive issues or excessive barking issues (off course barking), an evaluation outside of class will be required first.
If you can manage the barking so it won’t be a problem, that will be acceptable but again, it must be discussed first. Dismissal due to these issues will not be refunded.
