Sol Dog Lodge Classes

Puppy Social Obedience is a group class experience for pups who are all similar in youthful age.  We will teach basic commands, getting your pup comfortable with a leash, and accepting the human world with positivity.

Adult Dog Enrichment Obedience Class will help you form a bond with your dog through obedience: learn how to gently, but firmly, walk with your dog, learn how to apply the “place” command, build your dog’s confidence through basic agility games, how to engage and teach your dog through rewards.

Adult Dog Enrichment Obedience Class – level 2 will take the foundation from the first class and introduce real life distractions and a less controlled environment.  Learn multiple ways to retain your dog’s engagement and redirect their attention.  More leash and walking exercises and positive associations out in public.

Micro Play Groups have small numbers to ensure a good experience.  Once a week promote healthy play time between appropriately paired dogs.  Trainer manages and supervises this hour long session.

Sensitive Dog Package combines our dog trainer and groomer’s expertise to build your dog’s confidence and trust to make the grooming process easier and more enjoyable.

Dog Training For Puppies


Start Your Pup Off on the Right Paw with Sol Dog’s Puppy Play and Learn Class Begins every other month for Six Weeks

Puppy-I-Class

You will learn:

• Appropriate puppy play and social behavior
• How to re-direct unwanted behavior
• How to reinforce good social behavior
• How to settle an over-aroused puppy
• How to control and train your puppy during distractions
• Safe socialization with opportunities for real-life practice

This class provides a basic behavioral foundation for your puppy to practice proper behavior as you gain training knowledge that can be fine-tuned and increased in complexity as your dog ages.

The classes will be taught by Francesca Alonzo & Gail B. Smith

Taught by two trainers, the initial class will begin with: house management – how to set up a safe home, use baby gates and introduce proper toys. The class will expand to address isolation distress (aka separation anxiety), preparing for a first grooming experience and resource guarding (where the puppy growls, bites, or lunges at a person or dog over food or toys.

Positive reinforcement and a light, fun approach will guide your puppy to confident, calm behavior while building bonds with you by introducing new  sounds, touches, and surprises.
