All of these put together creates a willing participant with a good attitude toward learning any new behavior. A Good Dog's Life focus' on how dogs learn and want our students to achieve the highest possible relationship with their canine companion through positive, trust-based methods.

What we offer:
Group Classes
Puppy Manners:
Did you know that what that puppy learns during the time between eight and sixteen weeks of age is going to play a major role in what kind of adult dog you will have. A lot of social behaviors are learned early and that is why A Good Dog's Life promote a puppy class that will ensure that your puppy has a head start on being the envy of your friends and your neighborhood!

Basic Manners
For dogs that are 5 months and older and have never been in a class, our Basic I program is for you. You will learn to be a good leader, coach, teacher of all behavior that you like. Through basic learning theory, you will be taught how your dog learns and how to motivate your dog to do what you like. It's our goal to open your dog's eye to see you in a more valuable way.

Basic II
After our Basic Manners program or equivalent privates, it's time to increase distractions and work on your dog's reliability. During this class we will dive into more motivational techniques that will help your dog become more reliable.

Super Dogs
After the first Super Dogs programs your dog will be ready to pass the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test, go onto agility, and start competing with Rally and AKC Obedience. Through fun game-like exercises, your dog will start to have better focus, and increased understanding as to what you want, so that a super relationship is built between you and your dog.
