You’ll get your paws a little dirtier learning the specific training techniques you want to practice most without the time commitment of a full-length class series. In each session, you’ll learn what Fido is thinking, get expert tips on how to “talk” in a way he’ll understand, and enjoy just the right amount of practice time. Each Mini Class is one to three sessions, and each session is 45-60 minutes.
