Are Dog Training Group
Classes Necessary?
- At Lasting Dog Training, we understand that dog training is a lifelong journey. As your dog masters the basics, it’s natural to want to challenge them with more advanced skills—whether that’s holding commands longer, learning new tricks, or even navigating obstacle courses.

- That’s where our group training classes come in. Designed for both puppies and adult dogs, these sessions offer a fun and effective way to continue your dog’s development. While not always required, group classes can be incredibly rewarding—providing structure, socialization, and new challenges that help you and your dog grow together.

Building Social Skills and
Community
Our group classes bring together dogs of all breeds and sizes, creating the perfect environment for learning essential social skills and practicing obedience around real-world distractions. At Lasting Dog Training, we believe training should be enjoyable—for both dogs and their handlers.

That’s why we’ve designed our group sessions to feel more like a weekly social outing than a formal class. With fun training games, interactive exercises, and a relaxed atmosphere, every session is something to look forward to.
More than just a class, we’re building a community. Friendships form, bonds strengthen, and both dogs and their owners find themselves genuinely enjoying the experience. It’s more than training—it’s connection, growth, and fun, all in one place.
Signs Your Dog is Ready for
Training
- Every dog can benefit from training—and in many cases, it’s a lifelong process. If you’re wondering whether it’s the right time to start (or restart) training, here are some common signs that your dog is ready for it:
Read More
- Your Dog is Destructive Chewing furniture, ruining shoes, or having accidents indoors are all signs that your dog needs guidance. Even older, previously well-behaved dogs can develop unwanted behaviors and benefit from a training refresher.
- Your Dog is Aggressive If your dog growls, snaps over food or toys, or shows aggression toward people or other dogs, it’s time to take action. While some rough play is normal, lunging or snapping on walks is a serious sign that professional training is needed.
- Your Dog Misbehaves on the Leash Pulling, lunging, or constantly ignoring leash cues? These are all correctable with proper training. Even dogs that once walked well can regress and may need to rebuild those skills.
- Your Dog is Anxious or Fearful Separation anxiety, fear in new environments, or general nervousness can all be helped through training. Our structured sessions and group classes help build your dog’s confidence and improve overall behavior.
- Your Dog Ignores You in Public If your dog listens well at home but tunes you out at the park or on walks, training can bridge that gap. Practicing in group classes or controlled outdoor environments helps your dog stay focused—even with distractions.
The Lasting Dog Training
Difference
Whether you're attending a group class or an in-home session, our training method remains consistent and effective. At Lasting Dog Training, we use the principles of Classical Conditioning—also known as the Pavlovian method—which has been proven to deliver long-lasting results through positive associations and consistent reinforcement.

We don’t believe in harsh punishments or outdated tools like shock or spray collars. Instead, we use a balanced training approach paired with a modern electronic collar—a gentle tool that delivers a light, attention-getting pulse, similar to the sensation of a leash tug. It’s never used as a punishment, only as a communication tool to keep your dog focused and responsive.
While some training programs rely on fear or intimidation, our method builds trust, confidence, and a genuine desire in your dog to please. We help your dog thrive by nurturing their natural instincts, creating lasting results that come from the heart—not fear.

Benefits of Group
Classes
Just like people, every dog has a unique personality. While some may thrive with one-on-one instruction, others benefit tremendously from the energy and variety of a group setting. Group classes can be an excellent resource for both dogs and their owners, offering real-world challenges, socialization, and shared learning experiences that private sessions alone may not provide.
Socialization
Focus
Besides the socialization benefits, group classes are a great tool for dogs to learn to work around distractions. If your dog is perfectly obedient at home, but loses his or her mind at the dog park and forgets all they’ve learned, group classes are the way to go. Group classes are a safe way to help your dog learn to listen to you, even when they’re surrounded by exciting sights, smells and sounds.
