Looking for a training class for your pet that is flexible, pet-oriented, family-friendly, and can meet the needs of your busy schedule? PPDT has developed an innovative NEW class format that is designed to help you fit pet training into your life, instead of the other way around! Our program is a progressive, go-at-your own pace Levels Program.
Our format allows students to purchase a 5 or 10 class pass to train your dog in our weekly sessions. All students begin with our Orientation Class and then progress through our Levels Courses.
Key Advantages to Levels:

The Levels Assessment:
Each team will be given a book to chart/track their successes in training and you are responsible to bring that book with you to class each week. The instructors of the class will guide you to help you achieve the fastest route for you and your dog so that you can move to the next level.
When ready for assessment, the handler and dog must complete the desired behavior with no more than 2 try's to include verbal and / or hand cue (dog should know both) WITHOUT A LURE. Once this is achieved dog and handler can move to the next level of learning.
