Lesson Pricing Update for 2026

Since opening this space in 2020 we haven’t raised our lesson prices. due to the increase in overall everything and while still trying to keep training not outrageously priced, we will be increasing our pricing for 2026. 30 minute lessons will increase by $5 to $55. 60 minute lessons will increase by $10 to $110. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and I still feel we are priced below what many other trainers of the same caliber are charging as I want to try and keep training attainable for all. Thank you for understanding and we are looking forward to another great year with you and your dogs!

This Sunday! Openings due to us having to reschedule the initial date!
Sunday January 4th
Mondioring Obedience and Jumps Workshop with April and Julie!

10am-4pm (with a 30 minute lunch break): Join April Pelletier and Julie Blanding for this workshop on Mondioring obedience and jumps! This workshop will cover all the basics you and your dog need to compete in the mondioring obedience program! Mondioring offers an obedience only OB (or an obedience and jumps only OBJ) program that dogs can title in! These dogs do not need to do the protection portion to obtain their title. How cool is that? Come learn with your dog (whether you wish to do the OB/OBJ program or the complete mondioring program) all about mondioring obedience! Exercises include: heeling, retrieve, send away, long down with distraction (absent of handler), food refusal, position changes, and more! If you do not wish to use the jumps you can use those turns on more OB. Newbies and dogs already started in mondio are welcome!

Working Spots (limit 6): $200
Auditing Spots (limit 10): $75
