Trick Dog - Canine Companion Dog Training


Community Ed Programming / Adult Enrichment & Recreation -
Summer 2025

The Canine Companion training philosophy is: dogs learn through experience, punishment training is dangerous, there are better options and reinforcement drives behavior.  The only way to truly facilitate lasting behavioral change and rewire the way your dog thinks is through positive reinforcement.  Force free, reward based trainers have put in the work, done the research, and will take the time to get to know your dog's individual learning style to keep everyone safe and help your dog learn.  

Trick Dog - This group class is all about having fun and learning with your dog.  Choose from a variety of tricks and beginner agility behaviors to work on and practice in a safe, fenced outdoor space under the guidance of a professional trainer.
