Good Dog School – A class for every dog & every owner
ROOT Dog Training strives to give each team the best training class environment and personalized attention in every class. Class size is limited to 8 dogs or less, depending on the class.
Our Good Dog School Classes are part of our on-going, rolling enrollment program. What that means to you is there is no waiting to start class for you and your dog! You can start anytime once you have attended our weekly orientations. Good Dog School classes are separated by age and then by skill level. Once your puppy has mastered the skills of Puppy Kindergarten or Good Dog Grade School then they can start Middle School Mutts the next week. Once again you don't need to wait to keep your dogs education going.

Then teaching basic manners becomes a breeze and is fun for both you and your dog. This class will give you the opportunity to learn how to train basic dog skills so your dog can become a good doggy citizen and you can be an active participant in their training. Donʼt let your Wrigley, Bailey, Bella or Payton become the next Marley.
