Group Programs
Small classes. Personalized coaching. Practical skills for everyday life. Whether you're raising an adolescent dog, working through reactivity, or looking to continue building on your dog's foundation, my group programs provide structured learning in a supportive environment with individualized coaching every step of the way.
Rather than one-size-fits-all classes, each program is intentionally designed around a specific stage of development or training goal so every team receives meaningful guidance and personal attention.
Are Group Programs right for you?
Training doesn't stop after private lessons.
For many dogs, continued practice around appropriate distractions is an important part of long-term success.
Group Programs are designed for owners who:
Want ongoing coaching and accountability
Enjoy learning alongside other like-minded owners
Want to continue building confidence in public settings
Are looking for structured practice beyond private lessons
Value small class sizes and individualized feedback
Understand that progress comes through consistency—not perfection
Whether you're joining your first group or continuing your training journey, every program is designed to help both you and your dog grow together.
Why small group training?
Many group classes are designed to teach every dog the exact same curriculum.
My programs are different.
Each class focuses on a specific stage of development or behavioral goal, allowing every participant to receive coaching that's relevant to their individual needs while still benefiting from the controlled presence of other dogs and people.
Classes remain intentionally small so every team has the opportunity to ask questions, receive personalized feedback, and progress at a pace that supports long-term success.
Current Programs
Reactive Dog Foundations
Designed for dogs struggling with leash reactivity, frustration, overexcitement, or difficulty remaining neutral around dogs and people.
Owners learn practical handling skills, management strategies, and how to better understand their dog's behavior while building confidence together.

Urban Dog Program
Urban Dog Program is a six-week small group experience designed for dogs with an existing training foundation who are ready to build confidence, reliability, and practical skills in everyday public settings.
Each week we meet at a different South Bay location, gradually increasing the level of challenge while practicing the skills that matter most in everyday life. From shopping centers and coffee shops to long-line recall work and public access practice, you'll gain the confidence to enjoy more adventures with your dog.
*since this is an intermediate program that requires a foundation of training I am requiring all new clients to complete an in person evaluation. If you are approved, the amount will be credited towards the program, if you’re not approved it will be credited towards a 1:1 Private Session.

Owner involvement matters
Every Group Program is designed with one goal in mind:
Helping owners become more confident handlers.
We'll focus on building communication, understanding behavior, and creating practical skills you can confidently apply outside of class.
Training doesn't end when class is over—and that's exactly why these programs work.
What makes these programs different?
These aren't large classes where you're competing for your instructor's attention.
Every program is intentionally kept small to allow for individualized coaching while creating appropriate opportunities for dogs to learn around distractions.
Each class has a purpose, every exercise builds on the previous week, and every owner leaves with a better understanding of how to continue progressing at home.
