A Fun Way To Learn

About Our Group Dog Training Classes

Group dog training at The Positive Pooch is a fun and sociable way to learn basic obedience with other dogs and their owners. Many dog owners are encouraged by the support of their classmates and enjoy the camaraderie of group classes. Group training offers an excellent, structured environment to socialize dogs in a controlled manner. When our clients go home, they know what they need to work on and understand how to train their dog. Our classes are taught for the everyday pet owner.

To ensure each handler receives the individual attention and assistance they need to succeed, the group class enrollments are kept to a comfortable size.

Group classes are run by Loretta Rocco, CPDT.
