We think the Zen Dog Class may be beneficial to so many doggies. Let’s face it, if you get a rescue, they may have some issues to overcome! But we still love them like nobody business!!

In reply to Lindsay. Classes are great for building the relationship with your dog. Stetson is like Ace. He loved his K9 Nosework classes, but we got off track several years ago when we were working on training the guide dog pups. I'm not sure if you remember my puppy Derby, but his brother Dutch is in the same situation. Got off track with training and trying to get back into the group classes because he loved them so much. I have a plan I put together to get all of my dogs back into group training. It'll be in my next blog post if I ever get it published :)

In reply to Brandon. We're in Southern California and the size and breed of the dog doesn't usually matter when enrolling in obedience classes. However, I'm guessing that location will have some bearing on the price of classes. For your reference over the past 10 years I've had 2 trainers that rose above the rest. One charged $295 for 5 weeks of group training. The second charged $199 for 5 weeks of group training.

In reply to Alfie.

It’s great to hear that you work so hard on your puppy’s behavior. “Stay” is a big one for us to get down as puppy raisers. We’ve been working with Archer and the 3 D’s – Distance, Duration, and Distraction. Best of luck with your training.

I really enjoy any type of class with my dogs, and they always seem to love classes too! I’ve only taken Remy to a puppy class and we desperately need to get into a basic obedience class. I’d also like to start agility in a few months. And then there’s Ace, he used to love going to obedience classes so much and we haven’t gone in over 3 years. I might have to sign him up just because he’d enjoy it so much.

We live in Austin, TX and are considering adopting a furry friend – for reference, what should we expect to pay for obedience classes? I know it probably depends on the size and breed of the dog, but have y’all had success in a particular price range?

There are so many different areas of training. We have trained our puppy well but the one area of concern is still the ‘Stay’ command. Indoors he is doing really well but as soon as we head outside then the distractions are too much. We dedicate loads of time to training (in short sessions), so we know that we’ll get there, but it’s certainly the one area we want to improve upon.

In reply to Shechosethecat. Awesome! Let me know how it goes. I'm thinking that might be a good sport for my Aussie mix, Linus.
