Group Classes

Heather is currently teaching group classes at Kinship Dog Training. Group classes are designed to cater to dogs of all ages, breeds, and skill levels. Explore various topics with your dog, from beginner and advanced obedience, to dog sports, to tricks and real-life skills. Classes are more than just training sessions – they are social events that provide opportunities for your dog to practice their skills around other dogs and people, often in novel environments.
