Would you like to teach your puppy or adult dog basic obedience in a group setting?
Kanine Freedom offers a 6 session, hourly, weekly class to train in a group setting. Group settings can be beneficial for all dogs and puppies because they get to practice their skills around other dogs and people. Kevin sends out educational handouts and videos to supplement class content. Behaviors such as reactivity, anxiety, or fear can be discussed with Kevin after class or through our private training programs.
What your puppy or dog will learn:
- Sit
- Down
- Come
- Leave it
- Stay
- Greetings with people and dogs
- Calmer behavior in place of jumping
- Socialization skills

Weekend Socials
are structured social activities where dogs can interact with people and dogs safely. There will be at least one trainer and two assistants supervising the socials to make sure dogs have a good time and don’t get overwhelmed. After coming to a social, you will have an exhausted and socialized dog so you can enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
- Puppy/Small Dog Socials on Saturday mornings at 9am
- Teenager Socials on Sunday mornings at 9am
- Adult Dog Socials on Sunday mornings at 10am

Four Paws Pet Ranch, 3410 Guerneville Rd, Santa Rosa CA
