  • We do require proof of the following vaccinations: distemper, bordetella, and rabies for dogs over six months old.

  • No, however we use the same technique. This type of training is called Mark and Reward, sometimes referred to as clicker training. We use a crisp "yes!" rather than a clicker, then follow it up with a reward. This type of training helps your dog better isolate the behavior you are teaching, which also speeds up your training.

  • We offer additional training with remote collars. We do not teach behaviors with remote collars. We proof behaviors. None of our Day Train or Group classes include any remote collar training. Email for more information.

Group Classes

  • The class fee covers the entire course, i.e. the cost is $250 for the full six week period. When you register, you are registering for the ENTIRE course, not just one week. The website lists the start date for each individual class, as well as the time. You would have your first week of class on the start date listed, and then return at the same time every week for however many consecutive weeks that class runs to complete your class. The only reason your class schedule would differ is if there is a skip week (which would also be listed online), or if you miss a class for personal reasons.

  • Fresh Canine is a very family friendly business that welcomes the whole crew to participate in training!

  • Your child is absolutely welcome to attend and be the primary handler/trainer of your dog, however anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian in the classroom at all times, for both safety and legal reasons.

  • We offer a discounted rate for a private lesson while enrolled in group class. 30 min private lesson are $50.

  • Classes will not be held if Williamson County Schools are canceled because of inclement weather. If you class falls on a weekend your instructor will contact you by phone or email if they decide to cancel. Students are welcome to contact their instructors if they are unsure if class will be held because of adverse weather. Every effort will be made to make up cancel classes.

  • Yes, you will need a separate handler and registration for each dog.
