About

Evaluation for Group Dog Training Class Placement is a systematic determination and assessment of your dog's skill level to determine their appropriate class level placement.

Exclusions To qualify for placement beyond the beginner course, a dog must demonstrate essential skills without the use of compulsion training, including dominance theory, and balanced methods. If a dog’s training involves any compulsion techniques, equipment such as prong or pinch collars, choke chains, e-collars, vibrating collars, Martingale collars, citronella collars, corrective sprays, or shake cans, they must begin in the beginner course without these methods..

People’s Dog Training™ follows the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) position statement on humane dog training, using exclusively fear-free, force-free, and reward-based methods grounded in current scientific evidence.
