Group Classes
At Clickstart, we believe that training the human end of the leash is just as important as training the dog’s! Our one-of-a-kind group classes are a fun and wallet-friendly way to learn from experts, get the whole family involved, and meet your dog where they’re at developmentally. Unlike traditional Board & Trains, we are prepared to support you and your pup through every stage of development from puppyhood through adolescence and beyond.
Our curriculum is designed to be taken in full. If you have a new puppy, start with Puppy Kindergarten (8-16 weeks old) and continue through College or Masters (24 months+) for full benefit!
