Best Paw Forward Group Classes
What is group training?
Classes are a fun way to learn new skills with your dog as a
group. It provides a social learning atmosphere where you can
meet like-minded dog owners and share your experiences as a
class. Each group meets weekly at their designated time for
in-person instruction and then goes home to practice the
behaviours they are learning. Skills build from week to week.
Why choose group classes?
Group classes are an affordable option for dog training. They
provide you with key skills to help your dog succeed in life and
help you build a better relationship. Not all dogs are suited to
group classes. If your dog tends to be excessively noisy or is
nervous of new dogs or people, this may not be the correct
choice for you.
Initial Training Consultation
Are you new to owning a dog? Or is your dog a little older and has never attended classes? It can be a great idea to start with a private training consultation to help you succeed! There is SO MUCH to learn about dogs and training that a private lesson can help you quickly build the skills you need most! The Initial Training Consultation also helps us assess if your dog is ready for group classes.
Dogs that are fearful, reactive or bark at people and dogs need to start with a private lesson or behaviour consult to ensure they are ready for the class environment.
All dogs, any age, size, or breed, may join our dog sport and fun classes as long as they are not disruptive in the classroom environment and are comfortable around other people and dogs. If you are not sure, please book a private lesson or behaviour consult first.
Training Schedule
Classes meet once a week at our facility or our Real Life classes are at an outdoor location, on a designated day and time.
Training Tools
Dogs must come with their own supplies. You may need to purchase the proper harness/leash or additional tools before or during the training program. Exercises will be easier to complete with the right tools!
Booking
You can book classes directly online or email us to book! For private lessons, please fill out the private lesson form or email us.

Cancellation Policy
We accept class cancellations up to seven days before the start of class. The class time is reserved exclusively for your dog, and we cannot offer refunds for missed time slots. You can schedule private makeup lessons for an additional standard fee.
In addition, dogs learn through repetition and consistency; missing sessions will make it much harder to reach your training goals within the planned timeline.
Notes
Class notes will be provided online.
Questions about your training?
If it is related to exercises in class, you can ask by email or in class. If you need additional help, please send us an email so we can help!
