Introducing Pawsitively Connected, our exceptional 4-week virtual dog training group class designed to foster a stronger bond between you and your dog. This course is perfect for dog owners seeking a laidback introductory class that combines positive reinforcement training techniques with engaging enrichment activities for their dogs.

We understand that the focus should not be on simply acing obedience skills, as this approach sometimes backfires and adds unnecessary pressure on your relationship with your dog. Instead, our course emphasizes the unique connection between you and your dog, providing a platform to discover activities that will enhance your bond, nurture growth, and establish a solid foundation for all your future endeavors together.

Often thought of the farm version of the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizenship exam, this group class will help you and your dog prepare for AKC Farm Dog exam and a farm lifestyle.

Even if your dog is a city pup, this six 1-hr group class program will help your dog learn to work around unique distractions like chickens and farm-related noises, walk on a loose leash, patiently wait through gates and while in their kennel, and calmly accept the presence of other dogs and strangers. We have chickens and farm equipment on site for use during this class.

We will cover the following topics:

• Passing other dogs and strangers on loose leash
