We offer training classes in two different geographic areas, Southeast Minnesota (classes in north Rochester/Oronoco) and the Twin Cities metro area (classes offered in Inver Grove Heights and St. Louis Park). You can view the entire class schedule here. We also offer Private Lessons anywhere in Minnesota, northern Iowa, and western Wisconsin.
New to Paws Abilities? Students can start in Puppy Class, AKC STAR Puppy, Teenage Transformations, Beginning Obedience, or Reactive Dog Rehab Level One. We also permit students who have taken classes at other training facilities to enter our more advanced classes, provided your dog can demonstrate equivalent skills. Check out the class list below for a summary of the options. We look forward to working with you!
