Group classes are a great way to practice skills, build engagement with your dog, and socialize in a supportive environment. Training alongside others helps strengthen focus, improves reliability around distractions, and fosters a sense of community as you work toward your goals.

Our classes are designed to be fun, dynamic, and practical—helping both dogs and their owners gain confidence in real-world situations. Whether you're looking to reinforce obedience, improve leash manners, or tackle advanced skills, we offer a variety of classes to fit your needs.

Group classes are in collaboration with Training with Albert and are located at the Union Machine Works near Jack London Square in Oakland.
