A 20-year curriculum that teaches your dog to tune in to you — even with other dogs around. Beginner and Intermediate workshops, held outdoors at Dee Dog Park. The first class is always free, no obligation.
Beginner 9am · Intermediate 11am · Dee Dog Park, San Juan Capistrano · 5 consecutive Saturdays · $400 for the series (first class free).
There's no substitute for practicing around other dogs. In a calm, structured class, your dog learns to focus on you with anywhere from 10 to 60 dogs around — the exact skill that's nearly impossible to build at home.
You'll leave every week with clear homework and a dog that's a little more dialed in. And because I tailor each class to the dogs who show up, no two weeks are the same.
Five consecutive Saturdays at Dee Dog Park — each week builds on the last. Here's exactly what we cover.
The Workshop builds on everything from Beginner and pushes a little harder each week. We use AKC Rally and Agility plus focused-based heeling to sharpen your timing and deepen the handler–dog "team." There's no fixed script — I tailor each class to the dogs who show up. 10–40 dogs, 45–60 minutes, $400 for five workshops.
Throughout the season I also run focused, single-topic clinics — deep dives on the issues owners ask about most:
No obligation. Bring your dog, watch how we work, and decide from there.
