Group Classes
Where do we hold our classes?
We run our classes at the Community Training Centre.
The address is:
700 E Mountain Rd, Guilford, VT 05301
Please exercise caution on the narrow, winding dirt road to the facility.
Stay alert while navigating to safely reach your class!
Due to the nature of the road, during winter months or heavy rain there is a high chance for cancellation or rescheduling of classes at the facility.
We will inform you as soon as we know if the road is safe for travel.
A Note On Pricing:
I set my prices in order to allow me to provide quality care to small groups.
The majority of my classes are limited to 4 working teams.
I am passionate about emphasizing quality over quantity for the owners who sign up for my classes.
This pricing also ensures that if you are the only one signed up for the class I can still run it for you and your dog.

Finn was amazing with our German Shepard.
We learned so much from them.
Hina loved seeing them and picked up on the training quickly!
