Group Classes
Welcome to our selection of Group classes.
K9 FUNdamentals provides training and guidance not just with your dog but you will also leave our classes with a greater sense of confidence with the necessary skills learnt. Our Group classes are typically small in participant numbers. This ensures that we optimise our time and attention with each owner and dog. Whilst we are providing guidance and training to the entire group, we also tend to observe and pick up nuances that may be specific to your dog. We make a point of providing this feedback to you so that you can further enhance the learnings gained from the class.
Currently all the below classes are held in our private training area located in Dairy Flat (5 minutes from Old Albany Village).
