CLASSES ARE OFF LEASH FOR SOCIAL & OBEDIENCE SKILLS
Dog Training Classes
While we teach all the essential obedience behaviors in our off leash dog training classes, that’s only the beginning.
You’ll learn how to get your dog to come when called and stay with you performing all the newly learned skills. All while off leash among dog friends in the classroom. Fluctuating between play time with friends to working with mom and dad is how we get the these unparalleled results.
We guarantee there’s no other program in the Minneapolis area that teaches these skills the way we do. And we do it all using fun and play!

A FULL DOG TRAINING PROGRAM
We Guide You To A Go Anywhere Dog
Our dog training class curriculum is designed to be accessible to anyone – whether you’ve trained other dogs in your life or this is your first. Step by step we guide you through our class series. If you attend each weekly class and make an effort to do the weekly homework, we guarantee you’ll have spectacular results.
And we got you, pinky promise!
Each class includes the Go Anywhere Dog eCourse, guiding you step by step with everything you need to know, weekly emails with a class recap and your homework, and a Private FB Community with unparalleled support via LIVE Q&A’s and contests to keep the human end of the leash motivated.
We love what we do…and it shows!
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
Let’s build confidence and strengthen impulse control! In Life Skills 101 we install our foundational obedience behaviors on “easy” mode: touch, spin, twirl, peekaboo, sit, down, leave-it, and stay. You’ll learn how to recognize and understand your pup’s stage in development, as well as how to handle problem behaviors like counter surfing, jumping up, and pulling on leash.
The training wheels are coming off! We take all of the behaviors you learned in Life Skills 101 and start making them more reliable. We also teach “by my side,” AKA the GAD version of heel. By this time, many dogs are entering “adolescence” aka PUBERTY! (Ew.) We’ll tell you everything you need to know to save your sanity and tame those big teenager feelings.
This is impulse control on steroids! We work to perfect all of your behaviors so that they’re dependable in day-to-day life. We’re not joking when we say you’ll be able to call your dog to you through a literal tunnel of hamburgers and ask your dog to stay even while you leave the room.
If you’ve passed Life Skills 101 or beyond, you’re able to practice your GAD skills out in the wild! Come along with us as we visit breweries, dog parks, and the busy bandshell and trails of Lake Bde Maka Ska. We’ll teach you tips and tricks for every type of outing, and show you that you don’t need to be afraid to bring your dog out and about. Afterall, you’ve got a Go Anywhere Dog!

Each class is 45 minutes long. Over the years, we’ve found that 45 minutes is the sweet spot for class length. Your dog is guaranteed to go home tired, but he won’t be overworked. We’re working around your pup’s developing attention span, and ensuring that he enjoys his time in class.
We offer classes Monday through Friday with class start times ranging from 4:30-7:30PM.
Yes. Age appropriate vaccinations are required, but that doesn’t mean your puppy needs his entire vacation series to be complete. Puppy class is so important to your dog’s overall health and wellbeing that it outweighs the minimal risk of catching something in class. Please read what the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior has to say about attending puppy classes before your puppies vaccinations are complete.
