Our Sun. Basic Manners & PuppyLove sessions fill up fast so jump in right now!
- Take orientation this week. Register & pay today to reserve your spot
- Get access to class materials as soon as you take orientation with your dog. Orientation is Week 1 of the series, at a different time and/or day than the rest of your program
- If Sun. class fills, as happens frequently, get started now on improving life for you & your dog in a different Osteen session then quickly move to Sun. if that is the best day for you.
Our group classes are small (6 dogs per class in Osteen) so you get lots of individual attention. If the class of your choice is full when you register, you can start immediately at your orientation class and then join your regular time/day series right away if there is room in the class right now, or in a few weeks as class numbers allow.
You also have the option of jumping into one of our other sessions now, then moving to your preferred spot in a week or two.
Only your actual class weeks count in your package, of course. By orientation provide any class dates you'll miss due to scheduled events (plus add serious emergency dates later) to get extra weeks of class.
Free drop-ins for extra help or for makeup classes when you miss a session for last-minute events are available at other weekly sessions when space permits. Private sessions for current series students are $25 per hour in Osteen.

Do I need private sessions for my pup or dog?
We are happy to provide private classes for young pups as well as teenage & adult dogs, especially if that is what your schedule and needs dictate. Both our private and small group classes teach pups how to focus around distractions, to respect and like other dogs and other breeds, and are a great foundation for happy, friendly dogs in the future.
(All of our instructors & our volunteers always start their own friendly pups & dogs in our group programs.)
