Training
Dogs are always happier when they have a job to do - when they have a purpose. Training can be fun - and entertaining - and will give your dog confidence in a job well done. Youngblood’s offers a variety of training options - from puppy class to manners to competitive dock diving instruction - we’ve got something for everyone.

What our Customers Say:
“I had a great experience taking the Beginner Active Tricks class with my faithful, beautiful and loyal companion Penny. I could not have imagined what we would learn together in just six weeks! Not only did it build trust and confidence between us as we learned the signals and commands together, working as a team also strengthened the personal bond we have. And it was a bit of a workout for us both!❤ So thankful to Christina for your patience and excellent teaching on all levels and to Samantha for providing an excellent place for classes to be held! Penny and I are looking forward to more adventures!!”
