Drop-In Classes
Manners Monday
$35/class
Look, everybody starts somewhere. Manners Monday is the no-pressure, just-show-up class — for the dog who's been on your to-do list for six months and the human who keeps saying we really need to work on that. Led by a food-focused trainer who meets you exactly where you are. No judgment. No overwhelm. Just a good start.
Urban Dog Socialization
$35/class - 4 Dogs Max
Socialization doesn't mean your dog has to love everyone. It means they can exist in the world without losing their mind. This small-group class (4 dogs max — intentionally) teaches your dog to observe, breathe, and make better choices in busy, unpredictable environments. City life is loud. We'll help your dog handle it.
Group Pack Walk
$35/class
Real life doesn't happen in a training room. It happens on a leash, in public, with other dogs nearby. Come walk with us off the levee and put your skills to the test where it actually counts. Bring whatever equipment works for your dog — long line, remote collar, whatever you've got. We'll figure it out together.
Basic Group Manners
$175
This one's for the dog owner who's ready to commit. Four weeks, same day, same time, building on each session like chapters in a book. We cover the fundamentals — sit, down, stay, leash walking, and the stuff nobody teaches you about how dogs actually learn. Fair warning: missed classes don't get made up. Show up and do the work. That's the deal.

"Terra and Alex have been an incredible resource for ShepHeroes over the years. From behavior consultations to supporting our adopters long after they've taken their dogs home, they show up with honesty, real experience, and so much compassion for both ends of the leash. Their understanding of canine behavior — especially the shepherds we work with — has helped keep dogs in their homes who might have otherwise been returned. Wholistic Canine is a trusted partner, and we're grateful to have them in our corner.”
