Join Our Group Training Program:
Another Chance For Basics
See what class is all about!
When I started Another Chance Training, my intention was to create programs that met Chicago pet parents where they are at.
I wanted to teach families cues with a purpose because tricks for treats are fun, but cues for treats in lifestyle context are life-changing. And that’s what our group training program offers.
Another Chance For Basics is Lifestyle Training designed with convenience, community and budget in mind. This option allows us to work together sooner, with group class series offered regularly throughout the year.
Another Chance for Basics is a series of 5 group training sessions.
Students will learn basic cues from sit, down, stay, walking, impulse control skills, and more.
Most importantly, you and your pup will learn when and how to insert these cues into your everyday life so they become useful, rather than just a trick for a treat. These sessions are for dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors.
Dogs that attend must be dog and people friendly and comfortable in large group settings. If your dog is leash reactive to humans or dogs, please consider our private sessions for your training journey.
