The Canine Co-Op Group Classes are a collaboration between Grimm & Co. Dog Training and Training with Albert, bringing together expertise to offer a well-rounded approach to dog training. Through group events, structured guidance, and a supportive community, we help dogs and their owners build confidence, skills, and lasting partnerships.

Our classes are designed to be fun, dynamic, and practical—helping both dogs and their owners gain confidence in real-world situations. Whether you're looking to reinforce obedience, improve leash manners, or tackle advanced skills, we offer a variety of classes to fit your needs.

CAFé DOG

Join our Cafe Dog Class—with a special twist for the next few months! Instead of our usual cafe-style social hour, we’re turning this time into an open training session. Bring your dog and your training goals—whether it’s basic manners, leash walking, or specific challenges, get personalized guidance on what matters most to you.

Note: This is a temporary change! We’ll return to our regular format in a few months—don’t miss this unique opportunity.
