Hoomans aged 12 to 17 are encouraged to bring their best dog friend (any age) to this social and exciting club!
Complete a few easy things to get started and then choose which area to focus on every week! A Live Class will show you how. A private community chat is available to ask questions, make friends and post video of you and your dog completing weekly challenges.

Puppies are welcome to join with their hooman. It's best if puppy is at least 8 weeks old. Be sure puppy has pottied outside prior to classtime!
Nope. All dogs can learn at any age. Sometimes older dogs might need a bit more practice, especially if what they are learning is very different from what they are used to doing, but grey muzzles are very welcome in class so long as their vet approves of engaging in fun training games.
Single file, please! One dog per student registration. For everyone's enjoyment, please confine all other pets away from the enrolled student and pet's classroom space during online meetings and training sessions.
Each registration is good for ONE hooman and a dog. Each teen will have their own account registration, login and identity in the community group so that each one may equally participate in challenges. The same dog may be used by both kids, with careful attention to not overwork or tire the dog out!
Unsafe dogs are not allowed. Examples of unsafe dogs include: dogs who control space by growling or snapping; dogs who take treats too roughly; dogs who are physically too large for the child to handle; dogs who are anxious in the child's presence. If a dog is viewed as unsafe toward the child during a training class, the issue will be gently pointed out by the instructor with the parent present. If there is a way to continue working with the dog safely, modifications may be made with permission of instructor. Please evaluate your own family pet for safety with your child.
No. There are no refunds.
Classes are recorded. Please email the instructor to request a copy of the class recording for the week(s) you miss. Please continue to participate in the private community to keep up on all the conversations and sharing.
1. A dog. Almost any dog will do. 2. Treats. Teeny tiny soft treats (like pea-sized bits of lunchmeat, cheese, or prepared commercial dog treats will work.) 3. Space to play with the dog during class 4. A buckle collar and fixed-length 6-foot leash (no retractable leads) 5. Creativity and a good attitude!
Perfect! You'll learn a lot and have fun doing it! We promise!
