Cool Critters Studio - Private and Group Class Dog Training - Valrico, FL
We teach STAR Puppy Classes, Beginning Obedience Foundation, Rally Obedience and Dog Agility from Beginners to Masters levels. As an AKC Evaluator I also administer CGC and Trick Dog Title tests.
We also hosts Dog Agility competitions from November through April every year.
From a recent happy pet parent client: "Took Snickers there for puppy class. I have plenty of dog training and dog ownership experience, but with large dogs. He is my first small dog [and puppy] and I’m new to the area, so I figured going to training and puppy classes would be something fun to do. I would recommend this place if you’re looking for basic training, CGC training, and are looking to get into sports like Agility :-). Will be coming here for future classes!"
