Enhance Your Training Experience with Group Classes

At Ridgeside K9 Indy, our group classes are designed to build on the skills learned in our obedience training programs. Open exclusively to clients who have completed these initial training phases, these classes provide an ideal setting for continuing education for both you and your dog.

Structured Training in A Dynamic Environment

Group classes at Ridgeside K9 Indy are not about socialization; they are about enhancing control and obedience in a more complex environment. Each session is carefully structured, allowing dog teams (owner and dog) to work alongside others without compromising the focus and discipline established in earlier training. The primary goal during these classes is to cultivate a focused demeanor in your dog, maintaining neutrality and stability amidst the distractions of new dogs and people.

GET EXPERT DOG TRAINING

beyond basic Dog Training

Participation in our group classes means pushing the boundaries of what you and your dog can achieve together. These sessions are a continuation of our training program, aimed at expanding the thresholds of your dog’s obedience and control in a safe, controlled setting. Activities like loose leash walking are practiced, but with the added complexity of a changing environment and the presence of other dogs and people.

The benefits of Group Training

  • Reactivity Management: Learn to manage and reduce your dog’s reactive behaviors in a supportive group setting.
  • Distraction Proofing: Proof basic commands and recall capabilities under various distractions to reinforce obedience.
  • Environmental Exposure: Introduce your dog to new environments gradually and safely to enhance adaptability.
  • Advanced Socialization: Ensure your dog behaves appropriately around other dogs and people, beyond simple play interactions.
 
Group Training Classes at Ridgeside K9 Indy are more than just a training session; they are a comprehensive educational experience that provides lasting benefits, ensuring that both you and your dog continue to grow and learn in every session. Join us to not only have fun but to truly advance the skills of your dedicated “dog team.” Check out our Facebook page to see our group training classes content!
