The first four of the Private Lesson Program lessons are held at the TMD facility. The fifth lesson can be a home lesson or a field trip of owner’s choice. After completion of lessons, owners and their dogs are invited to Group Polishing Classes. These classes will help you fine tune your dog’s ability to behave around many distractions, including other dogs.
