Virtual Challenges

Join us in virtual challenges where you can participate from the comfort of your home and even earn titles. 

While these challenges have "Official" start dates, you can join anytime! We will be breaking down bigger goals or titles into manageable chucks. Utilize these start dates as guides to keep you accountable, if needed. 

Each week share videos, pictures, or just update everyone on your progress. Let's crush these challenges together!

For our AKC Trick Dog challenges, submit videos of your dog performing each test item in the challenge to earn their AKC title. If you would like your videos evaluated for the title please email [email protected] and [email protected]. To be eligible, your videos should include the handler, unless you are working toward your novice trick title. More than one video can be submitted each week. 

Open Gym

Our open gym program allows members to rent out space to work on skills outside of class time. You will have the opportunity to use the space and any specialized equipment you'd like. There is an option to rent out one of the classrooms or the whole facility depending on your needs. 

In order to qualify to use our open gym program, you must first complete an in-person orientation. You may sign-up for an individual orientation time that fits in your schedule.
