Dog Training Group Classes in Castaic, CA
Other dogs are the distraction most programs skip. Classes cap at six dogs, run on open ranch ground rather than a rented room, and every session ends with homework so you keep building between weeks.
What's Included
Small classes, real distance work, actual coaching.
A twelve-dog class is a crowd. Six dogs on acreage means we can spread out, work at real distance, and still watch every handler.
Weekly 60-minute class
Progressive obedience around other dogs: heeling, place, stays with handlers moving, and recall through distraction.
Field-trip class weeks
Selected weeks move off property to parks and shopping centers so the group works in genuine public settings.
Homework and support
A written plan each week plus text support, so class is a checkpoint rather than the only training you do.
Ranch vs. Kennel Facility
Open ground teaches what a training room cannot.
Indoor classes across the Santa Clarita Valley run in tight rooms where every dog is over threshold from minute one. On the ranch we start dogs far apart with livestock and trail noise in the background, then close distance as they earn it.
Distance you can use
Start at forty feet and work closer instead of nose-to-nose from the start.
Real distractions
Livestock, wildlife, and vehicles running in the background all class.
Home-based setting
Calm, familiar property run by the same trainer every week.
Six dogs, maximum
Enough eyes on every handler to fix mechanics in the moment.

Who It's For
Best for dogs that are fine at home and lose it in public.
- Your dog listens in the kitchen and forgets everything at the park.
- You want structured practice around other dogs without a free-for-all play group.
- You finished board and train or private lessons and want to keep proofing.
- You are on a budget and can commit to consistent weekly homework.
- Your dog is socially appropriate — no bite history or handler aggression.
- You are working toward an IGP, Schutzhund, or AKC title and want coached reps.
