Our group classes are a step above the regular Puppy/Beginner/Novice & Adult/Intermediate/Advanced Group Classes offered elsewhere as they are personally run by AKC Approved Instructor/Evaluator Alice Marino and offer each puppy/dOg the opportunity to be tested for the above mentioned AKC Recognized Titles.
Please note, you do NOT have to take the test to be in any of our Group Classes, it is completely optional. NO obligation.
All classes include socialization, obedience, lOve and participation during class as well as “homework” and follow AKC/CGC protocol.
