Group Classes

Canine Valley offers a number of group classes

​

Training your dog in a group setting allows your dog to learn in a controlled environment, while you can learn from the needs of other teams around you.

Reactive Dog Class

Reactive Dog Class creates a controlled and trainer-guided environment for reactive dogs to build life skills.

​

A combination of education and hands-on training, this class gives 

dog teams the skills to understand reactivity, learn your dog's specific needs and limits, achieve a proper training gear setup, and confidently and safely help your dog work in familiar and unfamiliar environments.

​

6 dog limit to give the specialized attention and safety needed.

All teams enrolled in this class must receive an initial evaluation, to ensure that the team is a good fit for this program.
