GENERAL INFORMATION

Proper training equipment is required. A plain collar and leash for your dog will work to get you started.  Let your instructor help you determine if something else will be more useful for your dog. We can help you fit a collar based on your dog's size and temperament.  We have reasonably priced equipment available at our facility. 

Bring your dog to each night of class, including the first night. It is very important that you can attend each class as new skills will be taught each week.  If you enroll in the Beginner Home Manners or Puppy Headstart class, you will receive a training manual, other classes may offer handouts.  Bring plenty of  small, soft treats for your dog!

Classes are once a week and 45 minutes in length unless indicated otherwise. Prices, dates and times are subject to change.  No refund after first class.  
Classes will not be held if Joplin Schools close that day due to weather conditions.

Aggressive dogs are not allowed to work in group classes. "Aggressive" means the dog threatens to either bite or fight. If you feel your dog may be aggressive towards people or other dogs, please call us at 417-623-5606 or email us at positivedogs@joplindogs.com and someone will contact you.

Classes are limited to 10 students. Each class meets once a week for approximately 45 minutes to one hour for 6 weeks unless schedule indicates otherwise.  Classes fill quickly so be sure to get your application in as soon as possible. Your application will be confirmed by E-mail or phone.
