Group Class Requirements

To ensure a productive and enjoyable experience, all group classes—except Puppy and Chill classes—require basic obedience skills. These include:

• Loose leash heel
• Sit, down, and recall on command
• Ability to stay for at least 30 seconds

Classes use positive reinforcement techniques with treats to make learning fun and interactive for you and your dog and commands are reinforced with an appropriate consequence to include verbal corrections and corrections with tools such as prong collars and ecollars.

Additionally, all dogs (except puppies) must provide proof of up-to-date vaccinations for Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella.

Enrollment Options

We offer two enrollment formats to suit your schedule:

• Open Enrollment Classes: Start anytime and attend for 6-8 weeks. Each session introduces new skills, making it easy to participate even if you miss a week.
• Fixed Enrollment Classes: Designed to build on skills week-by-week, these classes run for a set period, providing a structured learning experience.

Come check out any of our classes for FREE for one session. If you enroll at the end of the session we will take $50 off the class price. Please sign up prior to coming to class so we can ensure appropriate class sizes.

Open Enrollment Classes

1. Puppy Class

   • Saturdays, 11-11:45 AM | $294
   • This 12 week class is for all of those puppies 8 weeks - 7 mos old and that have no skills at all. We will be teaching owners how to best lay the groundwork to develop their puppies into happy, well-trained and well-adjusted adult dogs. We will cover obedience games, handling skills, puppy 101 information to include house-training, and other topics specific to owning a puppy and helping it grow into a well socialized dog and be prepared to learn basic obedience skills. We do require appropriate vaccinations for the age of your puppy but realize some puppies will be missing complete series due to their age. All puppy owners must sign a waiver acknowledging the health risks of bringing an unvaccinated/under-vaccinated puppy to class. Our facility is cleaned between classes but there is always a risk to puppies that are not fully vaccinated. Do bring appropriate treats for your pup. We will offer to certify your pup as an AKC S.T.A.R puppy at your 6th class if you like. It is not a requirement to course completion.

   • Thursdays, 6:30-7:15 PM | $125
   • This 4 week class will take place in public places and with the certification test occurring on the 4th week.

We also offer the evaluation test to enter the therapy dog group, Love On A Leash, that is here in Bismarck concurrently with the CGC test if an owner wants to be tested for both. Be aware that all skills must be passed without the use of treats or training tools such as prong collars or e-collars. Slip chains and martingale collars are allowed. The skills that need to be passed are on the AKC website HERE.  Click HERE for more information on becoming a therapy dog team with Love On A Leash.
