Group Dog Training Classes
Group dog training classes are a great way for owners and their dogs to grow together. There are so many places where you can take a group class and learn on your level with a group curriculum. Here at Precious K9s we focus on one-on-one training to ward off behavioral issues OR to help you after behavioral issues have surfaced.
We will not have BEGINNER group classes as of April 30, 2026.
Precious K9 is here for the student that wants one-on-one help at their home, in public, or virtually.
We will randomly have our DOGS ABOUT TOWN and DOGS WITH A JOB (THERAPY) CLASSES, so contact us to get on the waiting list for these. You can also keep up to date on our Instagram and Facebook pages.
Dogs and Owners, Learning Together
In the same way that parents learn from other parents. Dog owners can learn from one another.
“When we punish our dogs and don’t let them know what they are doing that is good, they often focus on the timing of the punishment and don’t understand what to do instead of the undesirable behavior. They just do nothing or avoid looking. That may make the behavior stop, but it often times causes fallout such as snapping, biting, or worse. This behavior of doing nothing to keep out of trouble is a term we call learned helplessness. They don’t understand what they did wrong, so they just stand still and wait to see what someone is going to do next. If they aren’t noticed, maybe Dad won’t get stressed out… The fallout that often occurs, is just their way of trying to communicate without the signal you did not like the first time they told you.” Carrie Galvan, Professional Dog Trainer
