Baltimore Dog Training Meetup
Baltimore Dog Training Meetup
Beginning in Summer 2025, we'll be meeting 1-2 times per month for a free group dog training meetup in Baltimore City. It's basically a free group class!
What to expect:
What to expect:
Format: Trainer-led exercises, brief periods of walking, and time to practice on your own
No-interaction environment! Dogs do NOT greet each other, and humans do not greet others' dogs. Reactive dogs are welcome!
All types of people and dogs are welcome, but please no children.
Who this is for: This meetup is most helpful for folks who have some foundation of positive training priciples. This class was created to give my private clients a safe space to practice around others, not as a beginner-level instructional class. Do not expect a full length trainer-led group class! There will be group exercises, but there will also be plenty of time where you're practicing with your dog on your own. Other local positive dog trainers are welcome to bring their own private clients to the meetup to practice as well.
We're all on the same page. It is really really nice to be able to practice with your dog around other folks who "get it". Other participants are working with their dogs in the same way (positive training), and many will be working on the same issues (reactivity is a big one!). They understand the journey you're on and what you're trying to accomplish. It's a really lovely safe space to practice!
To attend a group meetup, there are only two requirements:
To attend a group meetup, there are only two requirements:
Positive training only. Since there are trainer-led exercises and coaching, we need to be on the same page. You don't have to be one of my private clients, but you do need to be training using positive reinforcement. This is not an environment where we will be "correcting" our dogs. To that end, prong collars, e-collars, slip leads, slip collars, chain collars, etc. are not permitted. If you need help determining the appropriate equipment for your dog for this class, I'd be happy to chat with you! Please reach out ahead of time.
RSVP! Group will be cancelled if we don't have at least 3 RSVPs for a given date. To RSVP, respond to my email about that specific date.
