Foundation classes

Start here based on dog's age.

Due to our highly advanced curriculum, a foundation class is mandatory for everyone new to our facility.

 

Forget traditional foundations. Driven by cutting-edge behavioral science—biopsychology, ethology, and applied behavior analysis—our classes deliver clarity, resilience, and control. Fast-paced and content-rich, we address critical gaps even experienced dogs and handlers miss, making advanced behavior possible. We redefine what foundation can achieve!
