Getting started is simple:

1. Choose a class time that works for your schedule

2. Book your spot online

3. Show up ready to move with your dog

Once you arrive, everything is guided step-by-step. You’ll be walked through the structure, exercises, and flow of class - no prior experience needed.

If you’re unsure whether your dog is a good fit, you can start with a single class and build from there.

Consistency is where results happen, so the goal is to get started and stay consistent.

Classes are structured, guided workouts for both you and your dog. You’ll move through stations where:

• You perform exercises

• Your dog completes agility or obedience work

• You rotate together through a controlled circuit

It’s organized, intentional, and designed to keep dogs focused - not chaotic.

Yes. Classes are designed to be accessible for beginners - both for owners and dogs.

You do not need prior training experience, and your dog does not need to know commands beforehand. Each session is guided step-by-step, with clear instruction and built-in structure.

Exercises can be adjusted to your fitness level, and dogs work at their own pace within a controlled environment. The focus is on building a strong foundation - engagement, consistency, and clear communication.

Many beginners see the fastest progress because they’re learning the right structure from the start.

With consistency, most owners notice:

• Better focus and responsiveness

• Reduced excess energy

• Improved behavior on walks and at home

• A more engaged relationship with their dog

Right now, we offer one class per week, and that’s a great starting point.

That weekly session provides structured movement, mental stimulation, and guided work that most dogs are missing. To see the best results, it should be paired with intentional exercise and structure at home throughout the week.

Think of class as your anchor—it sets the standard, shows you what to do, and gives your dog a consistent outlet. What you do between classes is what reinforces progress.

As more class times are added, you’ll have the option to increase frequency - but one consistent session per week is a strong foundation.

Yes - with consistency. Many behavior issues come from lack of structure and fulfillment. DAC focuses on:

• Engagement

• Impulse control

• Focus around distractions

This carries over into better behavior outside of class.

Reactive dogs are not excluded - they often benefit the most from this type of structure.

Classes are designed to reduce overstimulation through:

• Clear spacing between dogs

• Controlled lanes and movement

• Guided, intentional work (not free interaction)

We meet in an open space, which allows you to create distance when needed. If your dog becomes overwhelmed, you can step away, reset, and rejoin when they’re ready.

The focus is not forcing interaction - it’s helping your dog learn to stay calm, focused, and engaged around distractions at their own pace.

You’re always encouraged to advocate for your dog, take breaks, and adjust as needed.

If you have concerns about your dog’s ability to attend a class, you’re welcome to reach out beforehand to discuss a plan and/or private training so you can both succeed.
