Structuring, pricing, and teaching group classes that dogs AND humans enjoy.

Class structure: 6 weeks, 1 hour/week. First 10 minutes — check-in/questions. Next 35 minutes — teaching new skills (demo, then practice). Last 15 minutes — supervised play or problem-solving. Always end on a success.
Class size: 6-8 teams max for one instructor. Use an assistant for 8+. Arrange dogs in a circle with enough space between teams. Use baby gates or exercise pens for reactive dogs. No dog is forced to interact.
