Classes

Behavior Besties and Behavior Buddies provide two budget-friendly class experiences

Behavior Besties live group class

June 7, 2024 - September 6, 2024

Don’t be embarrassed by your dog at BBQs and breweries this summer.

Let's build a lasting connection with your dog, showing them their best choice is to cooperate with you!

Whether your dog is new to basic manners training or needs a refresher course, this fun 14 week program fits! This summertime program is designed to keep you engaged with us twice a week and your dog engaged with you every day. We’ve designed the skills to be practiced in short amounts of time (up to two minutes) and then repeated a few times a day. We capitalize on training around mealtimes to make it easier for your daily schedule. 

We'll start with attention (yes, even around distractions), add on loose leash walking, polite greetings (not jumping on people), and stay before building a recall relationship (coming when called). We begin class and office hours online to minimize distractions and set your dog up for success. But don’t worry, you’ll have an opportunity to show off your skills in-person once a month! 

Here’s the flow of the weekly program: 

• Each Friday we’ll have group class from 10am - 10:30am. 

• You’ll practice over the weekend and if you would like to share your brags and bloopers with us, you’ll join us on Mondays from 7:30pm - 8pm for Q&A. 

• You’ll practice implementing my feedback until class again on Friday. 

• You’re always welcome to email or text us in between class and Q&A. 

Traveling this summer? Online skill building classes and Q&A are portable and go wherever you have WiFi. 

Need to miss a class? Don’t worry, you’ll receive video and written instruction each week after class.

Have a fearful or reactive dog? Train in the comfort of your own home. 

Meet with us twice a week for fourteen weeks for $925. If you sign up before May 24, 2024, you’ll receive a $100 discount and pay $825. That’s just under $59 per week to meet with Jackie Moyano, a fun-to-work-with certified professional experienced dog trainer, twice a week for fourteen weeks. This program begins June 7th and runs through September 6th.

Students signing up before May 24th will get an added bonus! After our class ends, the learning doesn’t stop!  For three months after our class ends, you’ll have access to two of our on-demand classes building on the skills you’ve learned. Gain cooperation from your dog during vet and grooming visits in our Cooperative Care class. Introduce fifteen fun, creative skills ranging from entertaining party tricks to useful tasks (not your standard obedience drills) in our Training Takeout class. United we train, let’s go Behavior Bestie!

Behavior Buddies Subscription Service

What sets Behavior Buddies apart from other self-paced dog training programs? You’ll see me train my dog and troubleshoot challenges in real time. I want you to see the behind-the-scenes training process rather than the perfected finished product. This allows you to learn from my and my dog’s responses in real time. Watching the final behavior alone doesn’t help much. Watching me break new behaviors down and train in real time gives you a valuable real life learning experience!

No need for your puppy or dog to fall behind on skills. Train while you wait for that group class or private lesson to open up. Plus, there’s no traffic and commuting concerns!

Use your calendar to stay on track. Schedule time to watch the videos and train. You’ll only need two to ten minutes a day to practice.
