Our next group dog obedience class session starts February 23rd (Sundays) and February 26th (Wednesdays)

 

Our brand-new group dog training classes are designed to meet the needs of both puppies and adult dogs, combining positive reinforcement techniques with engaging, real-world practice scenarios.

Whether you’re laying the foundation for your puppy’s future or refining skills with your adult dog, our classes emphasize confidence-building, socialization, and practical life skills. Created by our expert trainers alongside Carol Ann Heinis, former Canine Development Lead at Guide Dogs of America, these classes focus on essential cues like recall, leash walking, polite greetings, and settling calmly in busy environments.

  • The opportunity to practice basic behavior modification with professional guidance

  • Give your dog positive social experiences with other dogs and people

  • Learn to work your dog and keep their attention in a new place with lots of distractions

  • Information discussions on nutrition, exercise, socialization, and how to successfully modify your dog's behavior

Each session is tailored to help your dog thrive in Los Angeles’ dynamic lifestyle while fostering a stronger bond between you and your companion. With an emphasis on fun, hands-on learning and minimal equipment, our classes provide practical solutions for everyday challenges, ensuring your dog becomes a well-mannered and confident member of the family.

We put our 8-month old golden retriever through the positive dog group class simultaneously with private class. Both were run by Sam and she was the absolute best: patient, sweet, and instructive. We saw a major improvement in Granger’s behavior, and he learned commands instantly (after months of us trying to do it ourselves). Sam gave us the tools to keep up his training so he improves even more as long as we’re consistent. Thank you Tullys!!!
