In-person Basic Training group classes are for dogs that do not exhibit aggressive or reactive behaviors. This class may also be too overwhelming for dogs that have extreme shyness. If your dog exhibits this type of behavior, visit our specialty class listings, enroll in one of our online classes or consider a private consultation. You may email or call us at (207) 985-3244 ext 111 for more information on the training services and programs we may be able to offer you and your dog.
