Classes

The “Group Thing”: No Bad Dogs appreciate the group class environment because it’s economical and fun. Getting together with other studious dogs and their people provides not only an exciting forum for learning, but includes that invaluable social element as well. Group classes incorporate games and contests that make practicing new skills fun and challenging. All group classes are organized into 5-week sessions that are easy to schedule and complete.

Testimonials

Thank you for making my agility training fun, safe and appropriate for me, a 2-1/2 year old Shih Tzu. I may never be the fastest or even have a bunch of added initials beside my name, and am definitely not considered the usual agility dog breed (“working” dog), but I am having a good and fun life — NOT BORING. My owner and I are closer as a result and during agility I obey — forgetting that I am the pack leader at home. Hey, sometimes I even forget my royal status and obey at home, too.
Meagan, thank you from me (Kobe) and my owner (Jeanne)!!!!
