Classes

Optimal training environments that challenge owners and dogs safely and effectively. All classes are in LA and will range from 1 day, 3 days, or reoccurring weekly!

What are group classes?

Advanced classes are for members/current clients only. Group classes are available to anyone!

Limiting the class attendees allows for each participant to appropriately challenge themselves and their dog. You will have the opportunity to work real-life scenarios and stimulating environments with expert guidance the whole way. This is for owners looking to put their training to the test in structured, intentional situations with like-minded community members.

  • Some classes are open to only current clients, while others are open to anyone! This will be listed in the class description, but if you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out!

  • Class start times will be specified in each listing. We will meet in a larger area working the dogs around each other. Eventually we will make our way to more distracting/stimulating environments, dependent upon the comfort and goals of the group and the agenda of the class. More details are provided in each class listing!

  • In and around LA!

  • Yes! We frequently start off in a large area, utilizing the tool of space to allow for you and your dog to work through any problems/challenges with Samantha’s help.

  • This is largely dependent upon the group and objectives of the class (e.g. off leash reliability). If appropriate, with the help of Samantha and her pack, you will have the opportunity to practice around calm, neutral off-leash dogs and work your way up with your own dog!

  • Classes range from 2 hours, 5 hours, and can be 1-3 days dependent upon the class. The variety is intended to offer financially accessible options to those looking to participate in group activities.

What to expect

  • PACK MEMBERS

    With a common mentality and approach to dog handling, we are able to establish optimal training environments to test things out and have the comfort and ability to push a bit further.

  • TRAINING X FUN

    In addition to “standard” training work, you’ll also have the opportunity to learn fun, fulfilling activities such as bike riding, play and socialization.

  • SMALL GROUPS

    Classes are limited to a certain number of participants so that each individual receives attention and guidance, and is also large enough for pack work and group practice.

  • TARGETED APPROACH

    We take a targeted approach to ensure everyone is properly challenged and are able to work through various applicable scenarios.

  • GUIDANCE

    With limited numbers comes focused assistance! Every attendee will receive guidance and encouragement throughout the class.

  • VIDEO REFERENCE

    Nearly every class is recorded and put on the membership page, poviding attendees the opportunity to analyze their own experiences as well as others.

★★★★★

“The advanced group class was such a treat to live out the hard work we put into training in real life with the safety net of Samantha. It gave me the push and confidence to take it the next level and be able to do more things with my dog, which for me has always been my goal. 10/10 recommend.”

“This was such a great opportunity to work through curated and real situations that Samantha so skillfully walked us through. She makes everyone feel incredibly safe and I left feeling confident in how to move forward.”
