- Puppy Very Basic Obedience & Socialization / AKC Puppy S.T.A.R. (7 Weeks)
Welcome to PuppyTraining.LA & DogTraining.LA
We offer two main series of classes.
Puppy Class is for dogs 8 weeks to approx. 6 months old. This class is ongoing with a 7 week curriculum, thus you are able to start this week no matter which class/week it is and continue in the class till you attend all 7 specific classes. (i.e. you may start with Week 5, then you'll take Week 6, 7, then Week 1-4.)
Our (Adult) Group Dog Obedience classes are for dogs of ANY & EVERY: age (at least 6 months), breed, gender (neutered or not), size, and/or level of obedience (or not). The series consists of 10 weekly classes, 1 hour per week over a 10 week period. Classes are 45-75 minutes long, at the same start time and location each week over the 10 week period (excluding inclement weather and holidays).
Our classes through out the year take place on evenings and weekends at various parks around SoCal.
If you have multiple dogs, registration is for ONE team, making up one human (handler) and one dog. Dogs can not be intermingled from one week to another. We'd suggest you train with one dog, then duplicate the training at home with the 2nd dog, or submit a 2nd registration for another handler and your other dog.
Costs vary by location (cost of permits vary greatly by location) and type of class, generally $295 - $695. A $45 non-refundable, non-transferable registration fee is due to complete THIS registration, and the balance paid in cash at the end of the first class. Larger bills are preferred and will save time.
If for any reason, you don't like the first class, let us know, then that is our free gift to you and we will give your place to another team. We have never had anyone who has attended the majority of classes and applied our instructions, not have a huge change in their dog's behavior and/or unhappy with the classes.
For the Adult Group Obedience class, In addition to the class fee, you will be asked to purchase a few dog tools to greatly assist you in training. We will discuss this at the first class, so you can have these tools for the second class. The costs are approximately $50 and they can be found on our website
www.DogTraining.LA/groupclasses Look for "class resources" in bright yellow text at the VERY very bottom of that page. The last class (Week 10) there will be an option to be formally tested by an AKC Evaluator to be awarded an AKC CGC (Canine Good Citizen) title.
The classes are a lot of fun. People love being outside in the fresh air, in a beautiful park, meeting fellow dog owners / neighbors, and spending time with their dog! The classes are taught at a causal pace and are a great bonding time with you and your dog.
If for any reason you have reserved a space and are unable to attend, please let us know. Classes do sell out quickly and we always seem to have a waiting list.
We will send you a email, confirming your registration and as the class gets closer, more specific details about your class and exact location.
