Group Classes
These classes are held at A Pleasant Dog
at 1430 Knapp St NE in Grand Rapids, MI
Basic Training
Start here with your new puppy or dog to begin teaching basic skills and good habits including stay, recall, distraction work, leash walking, leave it, and more. Please note, these group classes are not designed to address excessive barking, lunging, or growling at dogs or people. Please schedule a private lesson to work on these challenges or other behavioral concerns.
higher education
Go beyond basics and continue through our core class series to level up your training game and prepare your dog for the Canine Good Citizen test! These classes will introduce next steps for the training you started in your 101 class along with a few new skills, and teach you how to help your dog be successful as you begin reducing treats.
Core Series Progression:
101 Class -> 102 Skills -> Intermediate Skills -> CGC Class
