While most basic obedience classes are group oriented, K9 Wellness Academy has learned that the majority of dogs are not familiar with basic commands and are extremely hyper around other dogs. This results in a lot of frustration for the owner and the dog. To mitigate this, I offer 1-1 lessons for 1 hour where you have our undivided attention.
