Raising or rescuing a dog can truly be a fulfilling experience, despite the challenges that may arise. Many dogs come from backgrounds where they haven't had the opportunity to learn how to communicate effectively with their human guardians or acquire the necessary skills for urban living.

Functional Foundations classes will cover a range of fundamental abilities, including introducing leash skills, recall training, establishing boundaries, building confidence, trust, and resiliency.
