Group Training Classes

We keep all of our class sizes small to ensure dogs and their owners get lots of individual attention. All of our certified trainers use positive reinforcement-based techniques when training and teaching behaviors. Our classes aim to correct common behavior issues like leash pulling, jumping, or overexcitement around other dogs and people. We believe we offer the best dog training classes in all of Northwest Ohio! Check out our full list of group dog training classes below.

Beginner & Advanced Good Manners 

Our Beginner Good Manners classes focus on teaching intro behaviors like come, stay, loose leash walking, and impulse control around other dogs/people.

 

Our Advanced Good Manners class builds on the behaviors learned in Beginner Good Manners, and we take the dogs out to public dog friendly locations to work on focus around distractions.

AKC Rally Obedience 

AKC Rally is one of four companion events (obedience, Rally, agility, and tracking). Rally develops better teamwork between you and your dog, as well as sharpens your dog’s obedience skills and behavior – at home and in public.

Out and About Class

More and more stores, restaurants, and public locations are now dog friendly! Wouldn’t it be nice if you could take your dog with you without the worry of them misbehaving? With our out and about class now you can!

 

The first two sessions focus on foundational skills at the training center, while the final three sessions take place at dog-friendly locations such as parks, greenhouses, or stores. Your dog will learn to stay calm and well-mannered in public settings.​

Puppy Socialization

At Ready, Set...Train! we teach the Puppy Start Right Pre-School Program. This is the only puppy socialization class designed by a veterinary behaviorist, Dr. Kenneth Martin. Our Puppy Socialization classes work on positive exposure to other dogs and people.

​

Dog owners get to work on common behavior issues like house training, play bitting, and inappropriate chewing.

Canine Good Citizen Class

This 6-week class is designed to teach your dog all the behaviors they need know in order to pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen Class. This test demonstrates that your dog is well behaved and social in public. The CGC test will be administered to all dogs the final week of class.

AKC Agility

This class covers foundational agility skills and obstacles while helping to burn energy and strengthen your bond with your pup. We will teach you how to maneuver and cue your dog through an agility course. The goal is to build your dogs confidence on each obstacle so they enjoy the sport!

 

Each week we go over rules and teach new behaviors until your dog knows all the requirements for AKC agility.
