dog training

Real-life training

for real-life dogs.

Six-week group classes where you and your dog learn together — ten dogs maximum, so nobody
gets lost in the crowd. Private packages available too.

Why train with us

Training is communication, not just obedience.

The goal isn't a dog who performs tricks. It's a dog who understands you, and an owner who understands their dog.

Omaha's Choice Awards Dog Training

Ten dogs, maximum

Small enough that the trainer sees your dog specifically, not just the room.

Positive reinforcement

Dogs work for what pays. We build on what they get right rather than punishing what they don't.

Experienced trainers

People who work with dogs here every day, not visiting instructors.

Indoor and outdoor

Weather doesn't cancel a class, and dogs learn to work in both settings.

Ongoing support after class

Six weeks ends, the relationship doesn't. Come back with questions whenever something changes.

You learn too

Owners are in the class, not dropping off. Most of the work happens at home between sessions.

Private Lessons

One-to-one sessions with a trainer, you and your dog. For anything a group room can't cover — or for owners who'd simply rather work alone. Consultations start at $75, with packages available after that.

Training questions

Before you sign up.

When does the next class start?

Courses run in six-week blocks throughout the year, so there's usually one starting soon. Message us or ask through your portal and we'll tell you what's opening next and hold you a place.

Which class should my dog start in?

Under six months, start with Puppy Kindergarten. Over six months with little formal training, start with Basic Obedience. If your dog already has the basics and you want them reliable out in the world, go to Intermediate.

Not sure? Tell us about your dog and we'll point you at the right one.

Do I need to attend, or do you train the dog for me?

You attend. Group classes teach you and your dog together — most of the progress happens in the practice you do at home between sessions. A dog who listens to the trainer but not to you hasn't learned much.

Does my dog need vaccinations for a class?

Yes. Rabies, Bordetella and DHPP are required before any service, classes included. Upload them to your portal profile before the first session. For Puppy Kindergarten, ask us what your puppy needs at their age.

What if I miss a week?

Tell us ahead of time if you can. Ask your trainer what you missed, and we'll help you catch up. You will receive the session hand-out (if applicable) and the trainer can help go over the techniques in an abbreviated fashion.

Reserve your spot

Ten spots a class. Ask about the next one.

Sign up through your portal, or send us a message and we'll tell you what's starting next.
