The #1 Dog Trainer in Crozet is Now Hosting Group Classes!

Hey there! I’m Jess, owner and head trainer at Sadie’s Rules K9 Training. We are honored to be the preferred dog trainer for Crozet dog owners. We specialize in training family dogs to be their best selves and integrate smoothly into family life.

We’ve trained hundreds of Crozet’s finest pups, typically through our comprehensive board & train program; however, that program books out months ahead of time. That’s one of the big reasons why we’re now offering group dog training classes as well—we can provide immediate help to more dog owners!

3-part group class for leash manners

Our first group class will focus on teaching proper leash manners. It’s a 3-class series over 3 weeks (one class per week). Here’s what the class covers:

  • HANDS-ON TRAINING - Expect to be learning right alongside your dog! Group training classes teach you how to better handle, guide and teach your dog.

  • LEASH MANNERS - We will be focusing on leash manners only, including the heel command, loose leash walking/eliminating leash pulling, and addressing leash reactivity, among other leash behaviors.

  • TRAINING TOOLS - All dogs will be properly fit for a prong collar at the start of our first class and the prong collar will be used as our primary training tool. Please come prepared to learn how to use it, and to use it during training class, when you’re working with your dog at home, and over the long haul.

Enjoy your walks again!

This class is for dog owners in the Crozet area who want to enjoy walking their dog again! It IS possible to change their leash behavior and have peaceful, stress-free walks. We can show you how!
