Group Training Classes

Practice Skills. Build Reliability. Train Around Distractions.

Group classes are where training becomes real.
Dogs don’t struggle because they don’t know what to do,  they struggle because distractions, excitement, and other dogs make it hard to follow through.

Our group classes are designed to help dogs practice focus, impulse control, and responsiveness in a safe, structured environment.

What Group Classes Are (and Are Not)

Group classes are ideal for dogs who:

  • Already know basic cues (or are learning them)

  • Need help focusing around distractions

  • Get excited, overwhelmed, or impulsive around other dogs

  • Need real-life practice, not just quiet-room success

​

Group classes are not for:

  • Dogs with serious aggression or bite history

  • Dogs who are unsafe around people or other dogs

  • Dogs needing individualized behavior modification

If your dog needs more support, we’ll recommend a private session first.

Our Approach To Group Training

Group classes at K9cation are not chaos.

We focus on:

  • Structured setups

  • Controlled exposure to distractions

  • Clear handler coaching

  • Dogs learning to pause and respond instead of reacting

​

This allows dogs to build:

  • Focus around other dogs

  • Impulse control in stimulating environments

  • Confidence without overwhelm

  • Reliable response to their handler

​

Group classes reinforce skills, they don’t replace foundation training.
