Small-Group Training Classes

Small-Group Training Classes

Training classes at Cedar Run Company are available all throughout the year. We offer training for dogs of all ages, breeds, and skillsets. We prefer to keep our class sizes small to offer as much one-on-one assistance as each student needs and, we practice science based, positive reinforcement training only in a fear free environment.

Our classes meet one day a week, for four to six weeks total, and are approximately one hour in length. Please contact us if you are interested in joining a training class, we can help you to determine which class best suits your dogs needs!

 

LOCATION: All Group Classes meet at Cedar Run Company Training & Wellness Center located at 2701 Robins Road Unit 200, Hiawatha.

Fundamental Puppy Training

This class is perfect for dogs 6 months of age or younger! We’ll cover beginner skills to set your puppy on a positive training path.

The primary focus of this class is socialization and introducing basic skills for your pup! We introduce skills, such as focus, sit, down, and stay, with the help of treats. This class also covers topics such as potty training, jumping, nipping, and barking.

Fundamental Basic Training

Perfect all dogs ages 6 months or older! A fun and positive starter class for most owners and dogs, this class is a great fit for any dog, regardless of its current skill set. The class can provide new tricks and techniques for dogs to learn or refresh the skills that they already know. This class will cover skills like focus, sit, down, stay, heel, and loose leash walking.

Owners should expect dogs to reliably respond to commands without treats. We also introduce release words to strengthen these skills. Basic training skills enhance a dog's life and create a stronger bond between an owner and their dog!
