Dog Training Classes in Seattle

Unlimited training! Current students in ongoing or series classes can drop into ongoing classes or regular workshops for free, on a space-available basis.

Two convenient class formats for multi-week classes:

Ongoing classes are open to new students, so you can start whenever you'd like with 4 or 6 reserved class sessions. Dogs work at their own pace and scheduling is flexible.
Series classes have a fixed start and end date - everyone starts and graduates at the same time. These 6-week classes have the most structure in terms of timing and instruction.

Our puppy graduated today from Puppy socialization classes and we are excited to continue her training with Ahimsa. We have had an amazingly wonderful experience with the instructors and have watched Pippi blossom tremendously under their guidance.

We are really motivated to move forward with more training to build on the foundation she has received.

* Two exceptions to the Adult Dogs Start Here rule:

If your dog barks, growls, or is aggressive to people or dogs, your dog is not yet eligible for Basic Manners. Take our Growly Dog class (issues toward other dogs) or private training sessions (issues toward people and/or other dogs).
If you have experience using clicker training in classes and have studied the topics above before with this dog, please contact us about whether you can skip Basic Manners.
