Training your dog is a beneficial practice for both yourself and your canine companion. However, you may be unsure of whether to enroll your dog in a group training class, or simply to have your own private training sessions. A group training session can provide an easy way for your dog to become more social, as well as save you money in the long run.

Here are the benefits of group training your dog:

  1. You will get the benefit of in person training with your dog, as opposed to DVDS or books. Group training is a bit more cost effective, but if your dog has specific issues that you would like to work on, it may be best to see a private trainer.
  2. Group training socializes your dog! If the dog needs a little help being around other dogs, group training is the perfect choice for you. If your dog is shy, but not aggressive, these training sessions will really help the dog to break out of its’ shell.
  3. You and your dog can make new friends, and really strengthen the bond you have. Group training sessions can help you both work together to complete goals.
  4. If you want your dog to be well behaved in public, group training is a great route for you to take. It will give your dog experience meeting other people, as well as other dogs, and this will help to formulate your dog’s reaction to these scenarios.
  5. Group sessions can help to strengthen your dog’s skills that they may have trouble performing in certain situations. Classes can help the dog work around distractions. For example, at home vs out and about.
  6. This is the perfect situation for your dog to learn new tricks!
  7. You are the one training the dog. Therefore, after the classes are complete, the dog will listen to you, and not have any trouble listening because you weren’t the original trainer. You can choose your commands, and how the dog responds to them.
  8. As the owner of the dog, you are gaining knowledge from other people and their situations to help you in the future. For example, if a dog has a problem that you saw a trainer handle in a class, and your dog develops this problem, you already have the tools to address the issue.

Lastly, a group training session is perfect for a puppy! Puppies are impressionable and eager to learn, and training your puppy provides them with an excellent foundation for their future.
