Practice in the Park (PitP)
Welcome to Practice in the Park, a class where we train around real-world distractions so we can DO MORE WITH OUR DOGS! This class includes structured pack walks where we work on being around other dogs, distractions, durations, real-world obedience, and general good manners. We also work on leash skills, practicing obedience, proofing behaviors, and sharpening our Canine Good Citizen skills.
We have dogs with a variety of backgrounds and behavioral issues, and this is a safe place for us to work through our dogs (and our) individual needs with the support of people that "get it!"
Every class is a little different; some are more structured, sometimes we pack walk, sometimes we have lots of new dogs, and our long-term clients and dogs have an opportunity to work on the skills they have been practicing. There is something for everyone, and we have a lot of fun!
Class Supplies:
- Water for you and your dog
- Water bowl

Class Rules:
- No on-leash greeting before, during, or after class unless approved by the trainer. You will be asked to leave if you do not follow this rule.
