Drop-In Classes | *Clients Only* | $10 | OFF FOR THE SUMMER
Description: The Drop-In Dog Training Class is a 45-minute class that is exclusively designed for current or previous clients of the dog trainer. This class is an opportunity for the dog owners and their furry friends to practice distraction proofing and other skills and behaviours in a controlled environment.
Class Goals: The goals of this class are to reinforce and build upon the training that the dogs and their owners have already received, improve communication between the owners and their pets, and provide a structured environment for practicing new skills.
Class Structure: The class will be held on a drop-in basis, meaning that clients can attend whenever they are available, as long as they are current or previous clients of the dog trainer. The class will be held in a controlled environment, such as a training facility or a fenced-in area, to ensure the safety of the dogs and their owners.
Class Curriculum: Our trainer(s) will work with each client to identify areas where they need improvement and provide guidance and training exercises to address those areas. The class will focus on practicing distraction proofing and other skills and behaviours, such as loose leash walking, recall, and basic obedience commands.
Class Requirements: To attend this class, clients must be current or previous clients of the dog trainer. All dogs attending the class must be up-to-date on their vaccinations and be non-aggressive towards other dogs and people (unless we are doing a specific class for reactivity or aggression). Clients must bring their own treats and training equipment, such as a leash and collar.
The Drop-In Dog Training Class is a great opportunity for dog owners to reinforce and build upon their dog's training in a controlled environment. By practicing distraction proofing and other skills and behaviors, dogs will become more well-behaved and better able to follow commands, improving their relationship with their owners and making them more pleasant companions.

Melissa Is amazing.
She is Easy to talk to and she loves her work! Gives great advice and tries to incorporate everyone's needs into her group training regardless of your dogs age and behavior.
I not only saw a difference in my Cooper,
I bonded with him while we both learned how to understand each other.
I 100% recommend Dharma Dogs and look forward to working with Melissa again!
