“I wholeheartedly recommend [Tanja Owe]. It was a small class with lots of individual attention. What I appreciated most was the close attention she paid to me, my dog, and to our relationship and communication. I learned a little more about dog psychology than I expected. She was also willing to model some of the recommended adjustments to my technique, not just talk to me about them.”

Dog Training Classes, A Unique Business Model

Our 4-week basic obedience dog training classes are small, which is what makes them so special. Their size allows for custom-tailored and one-on-one instruction. We ensure their small size by scheduling each class in coordination with student interest. Don’t be shy! If you are interested in a class, then contact us with your preferred time frame. We will then market your class to acquire just a few more students. For example, you can request that a class start early January (after the holidays) or mid-June (after your kids are out of school).

Each 4-week dog training class is comprised of 4 one-hour sessions.  The sessions address numerous practical skills, including sit, down, stay, leave it, come when called, and loose-leash walking.  A three-phase process is used to teach each skill. Please note that most classes are held outside in a park, which allows for more realistic training scenarios.

Classes are held in Historic Greenbelt, MD, which is conveniently located off of the Beltway (Interstate 495).  The basic obedience class costs $120 and includes a written summary of the lessons learned in each session, as well as long-term email support.  Join our growing community by requesting a class or reserving a seat in a pre-scheduled one!
