Are there group dog training classes in Anchorage?
Yes. The Dog Savant runs a group class meet up at Zilker Park in Anchorage, which Brett calls group therapy for dogs. It is free for life with any paid package, unlimited drop in, all breeds and sizes welcome. The goal is obedience that holds up in the real world, not just at home.
Where can I find dog obedience training near me in Anchorage?
Brett Endes teaches obedience in your own Anchorage home rather than in a facility, because obedience that only works in a training room is not obedience. Every program covers the real world commands, heel, sit, down, come, place and leave it, proofed on your street and at the Zilker Park group meet up. A 90 minute in home workshop is $295 and applies toward any package. Call or text (907) 203-0788.
How much do dog group classes cost in Anchorage?
Nothing, if you are a client. Unlimited lifetime drop in access to the Zilker Park group meet up is included free with every paid program, which start at $295 for the initial 90 minute workshop. There is no separate class fee and no expiry, so the classes stay available long after your sessions finish.
What is the difference between obedience classes and private training?
A class teaches a curriculum to a room. Private in home training teaches your dog, in the place the behavior actually happens, with the household included. Brett does the private work first so the foundation is real, then uses the group meet up to proof it around other dogs and people. Owners who only ever attend classes tend to get a dog that performs in class.
Can a reactive dog come to the group classes?
Not at the start, and Brett will tell you so honestly. A reactive dog dropped into a group rehearses the reaction. The sequence is private in home work first, then structured exposure at a distance, then the meet up once the dog can hold attention on you around other dogs. Rushing that step is the most common way owners set their own progress back.
How I fix this
A group class is a great environment to get together with like minded owners, socialize your dog, sharpen your skills, and learn new ones. Brett calls these sessions group therapy for dogs. The goal is real world obedience, your dog listening to your commands in any situation, not just at home. Every paid client gets unlimited lifetime drop in access at the Zilker Park meet up in Anchorage, free for life.
