We took our pup to the Courteous Canine training class and loved it! Janelle was the instructor and she spent individual time with each person and really listened to the group and our struggles/concerns/areas of improvements with our dog(s). You could tell she loved dogs and overall it was a wonderful experience. Pippi, our dog, now listens pretty well and can even do a trick or two. It was a great foundation for someone who has never been through any sort of dog training.
