Play as the Way 1 class starts MONDAY!

Learn how to teach your dog important life skills and obedience through PLAY, and make training fun for both you and your dog!

This class will cover concepts like clear communication, training through play, basic obedience skills, leash manners, how to stop unwanted or problematic behaviors, and how to communicate to your dog when it’s time to play and when it’s time to just chill out.

This class is an especially good fit for young, energetic, and playful dogs who need an outlet for their desire to play, and self control skills!
