Dog Training Classes at NEST
What is offered in our dog training classes?
NEST's Professional Canine Educator will provide much more than care for your dog. Your dog will be trained on manners, obedience, and socialization to help promote a well-mannered dog both at home and in public settings. We also offer AKC and Trick classes for dogs and owners with more advanced goals.

Any Age, Beginner
$225
Beginner Obedience is where your dog learns the everyday manners that make life together easier (and a lot more fun!). In this class, we’ll focus on building clear communication, strengthening focus, and laying the groundwork for reliable obedience.
By the end of class, you’ll have a more focused, responsive dog who’s ready to be a polite companion at home and in public.
Novice Obedience
Any Age, Intermediate
$225
Novice Obedience is the next step for dogs who have mastered the basics and are ready to refine their skills. This class builds focus, reliability, and confidence in everyday situations — and helps your pup shine under distractions.
Your dog will have stronger obedience, better impulse control, and the confidence to follow cues in a variety of settings.
Open Obedience
Any Age
$225
Open Obedience is for dogs ready to take their skills to the next level! Designed to build on everything learned in previous obedience classes, this program strengthens reliability, introduces advanced exercises, and provides plenty of proofing in real-life situations.
Your dog will be more confident, precise, and ready for advanced obedience challenges — plus, you’ll both have fun exploring new skills together!
Private Training
1-hour session
$125
Private Lessons give you and your dog focused, personalized training tailored to your goals! In this 1-hour session, we can work together in two ways:
- Owner-handled: you participate directly while I guide you and your dog through skills, behavior work, or problem-solving. By appointment.
- Day Training: your dog stays with me while you’re away (during daycare or boarding) and I provide one-on-one focused training.
These sessions are perfect for dogs who need extra attention, want to learn new skills, or benefit from targeted behavior work — all in a supportive, flexible setting.
