Group Dog
Training Classes
Urban Dawgs offers group dog training classes at our dog training center conveniently located in the heart of downtown Red Bank, NJ. We utilize modern, reward-based, non-aversive training principles to set you and your dog up for success. Our class sizes are small (average 3-5 dogs per class with 1-2 certified dog trainers) to ensure a productive learning environment with plenty of personalized attention. Our classes tend to fill quickly, so be sure to reserve your spot early.
Group classes are held indoors at Urban Dawgs, located at 46 English Plaza in Red Bank, NJ.
Our facility is wheelchair accessible, climate controlled, sanitized daily and features wall-to-wall matting for safety. In order to minimize distractions during training sessions, our facility is open by appointment only.
PLEASE NOTE:
Group Class Registration Fees are NON-TRANSFERABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.
Since our group classes are taught as a series, we are unable to offer make-up classes.
In the event of inclement weather, classes may be postponed to the following week at the trainer's discretion.
Class schedules are subject to change prior to the class start date. Classes may be FULL without indicating such below, as the website is updated about once a week.

Puppy
Kindergarten is a fun-filled class that will help you raise a willingly compliant,
well-mannered, good natured, easily-handled adult dog. Class
priorities are socializing your puppy to people and other
dogs, teaching bite inhibition (so your puppy develops a
soft mouth) and basic manners such as walking nicely
on a leash, coming when called, sit, stay and more! Learn
how to prevent and deal with common puppy problems like
biting, chewing, nipping, jumping up and barking. We'll also help
you get on the fast track for housetraining. Our training facility is sanitized prior to Puppy Kindergarten classes and features special matting that provides traction and extra shock absorption for your puppy's developing bones.
AVSAB Position Statement on Puppy Socialization
Purdue University's Recommendations for Puppy Class Protocols
Dr. Robert K. Anderson's view on puppy socialization and vaccinations
Prerequisites: Puppies must be 8-18
weeks of age. Proof
that your puppy is up-to-date with vaccinations (minimum 1st round of DHLPP shots plus 7 days to allow shots to take effect) must
be provided before the first class session with dogs in order
to participate. Kennel Cough vaccine is encouraged but not required. Please do not bring your puppy to the dog park or daycare (even if fully vaccinated) while enrolled in this class to prevent exposing younger puppies to any illnesses. Attendance of the orientation (without puppies) or a private one-on-one session is required in order to participate in classes with puppies. |
