Our Saturday Classes are a great way to learn with your best friend.
At West Coast, we have a variety of dog training options to best suit your best friend, you, and your lifestyle.
Our Adult Dog Training classes are a great way to learn along with your best friend in a group setting.
Our adult dog training lessons are held every Saturday in our secure training facilities. Distractions are a big component to proofing your dog’s training and their ability to perform what they have learnt out of the low distraction environment, such as your backyard. However, jumping straight into a high distraction environment is a huge leap for our canine friends and usually sets them up to fail. This is where group classes in low to moderate distraction environment will help.
Group classes, allow you the opportunity to continue proofing your dog’s skills in a controlled environment, setting them up to succeed in high distraction environments. Plus, our trainers are available here to help you with this, providing you information on how to set your canine friend up to succeed.
