Scotch Pines Dog Training
Specializing in "kindergarten to college in 9 weeks"!!
Our last set of classes for 2024 have begun which will take us right into the beginning of Winter.
Our next set of classes will begin indoors in Nampa mid-January 2025
We are taking registrations now for those classes
If you register for a spring class, there may be a chance of rain, if you register for a summer class, it will be hot, if you register for a Fall class, it might be chilly!
At Scotch Pines, we believe that true obedience must extend beyond the 6 foot leash. Gates get left open, leashes slip- even in your own backyard. REAL LIFE is off leash obedience.
Our goal is to instill off-leash reliability regardless of where your adventures with your dog may take you!
The training program we offer is our group training class which is set up as an owner/trainer program: we teach you as the owner to train your own dog in a group setting. The distraction of the other dogs, as well as socialization ensures you have an obedient dog in any situation life will offer!
Our group classes teach the dog to obey- regardless of what is going on around them, regardless of how many other dogs, people and other distraction are there.
The entire focus of our group classes is to teach our dogs to be obedient in real life, not just at home when only a few distractions are near. Corrections are a necessary part of training, utilized only for willful disobedience. Dogs are first taught all commands with one hundred repetitions of giving the command while gently placing the dog in the position before ever expecting the dog to obey on their own.To register for an upcoming class please visit our "register for class!" page.
Each class meets one evening per week for 9 weeks, cost is $475. Dogs must be at least 6 months old at the starting date of class.
All prior clients receive a 10% discount.
