Do you want to train and socialize your dog, but don't have time for a 6 week group course? Or maybe your dog knows all the basics, but you want to brush up a few skills? Drop-in classes are the perfect solution! These group classes focus on 1-2 main topics presented in a single session to give you more flexibility for your schedule, so you can train at your own pace. Most of these classes can be taken in any order, and we'll let you know what basic skills your dog needs to be successful in each course.
How Does It Work?
First, you'll need to complete the Dog Training Intake and Registration form* and send us a copy of your dog's vaccination records. For all training, group or private, your dog will need to be current on the following: Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella (Kennel Cough). Records can be sent to us via email at slvpetcare@gmail.com or through text at 719-480-0199.
Next, you can watch our social media pages and blog for training class announcements, or email us to subscribe to our training updates email list. If you see a class you like, you can just drop-in to our training space at 1431 Main Street to attend. No reservations are needed, but class sizes are limited, so you can reserve a spot in advance if you'd like - your spot is not considered "reserved" until payment is received. If you're just dropping in, payment will be due at the start of class.
*Completing this form does not guarantee placement in a group class.
