Group sessions are scheduled blocks of time that focus on a certain skill (Sport Dog Foundations, Obedience, Rally, Agility, Socialization, etc).  They are the basis of our training club and allow for people to meet up to work on a common goal - even if that goal is socialization, hiking, or competition foundation skills. The class sizes are kept small and individual attention is provided to all. The goal of our training is to provide Dog Training For All by helping those that want to have an unbelievable relationship with their canine partner.

• Classes are located in Bryan/College Station, TX
• To sign up, simply use our online scheduler that allows you to sign up, reschedule, cancel and pay online easily.  If you wish to pay cash or check in person, simply book online and close on the payment screen.
• We do not do walk up drop ins, just scheduled attendees so we can get a lesson plan in place for those attending before you arrive.  Each session is $30 per dog/handler pair each time you come.  The classes work around a set of concepts for that sport and level that we revolve around until you and your pup have mastered those concepts and then you move up to the next level. 
  
• These classes can have up to 10 dog/handler pairs (Barn Hunt is max of 6) but we try to keep it to fewer than that.  The group sessions last 40 minutes. 
• Private lessons are available for $100/hour and need to be scheduled via EMAIL.

Rate Schedule

Prices are per session (one dog with one handler) unless otherwise marked.  All prices are listed on our Scheduler link.

About Our Group Classes

DogJoy Training is set up to work around YOUR busy life and to help create a fun, cooperative, and eager companion that is truly a joy to have around. We realize everyone's goals are different and tailor each week's class around a curriculum AND what the participants want to learn. 

Most training classes commonly available are based around the same concepts that are taught over and over again.  This can be a tedious, ineffective, and boring way to learn as well as teach. DogJoy is interested in teaching you how to integrate training into your everyday life and to assist you in making your dog a rockstar without adding to the stress of "having to be somewhere every week." Short version, you come when you want, pay as you go, ask questions and get your answers while having a fun and motivating time!
