A good first class —communication, structure, and relationship work.
This class teaches the core language we use throughout Good Dog Club CA. We focus on food work, markers, pressure + release, impulse control, handling, and building a dog who looks to their owner for guidance instead of the environment.

Great for: dogs of any age needing clarity + groundwork

Our weekly Pack Hike is all about movement, leadership, and practicing obedience in the real world.

Perfect for: Dogs who have basic leash skills and want exercise + real-world practice.
What we work on: neutrality, recall practice (long line or e-collar), trail manners, engagement, exposure

A safe place for puppies to build confidence, learn manners, and make good choices early on.
