Dog Training Classes
The Great Falls / Reston Companion Dog Training School offers small group classes that last for 8 lessons each. All classes take place on Saturday mornings for about 1 hour, year round. The first 15 minutes of each class is devoted to dog play and socialization.
Each new 8-class session begins after the end of the previous session. Due to weather cancellations and holidays, some sessions will last longer than 8 weeks. Please check with us about when the next sessions begin.
We train at Saint Francis Episcopal Church, in the field next to the rear parking area. Please come on Saturday mornings (weather permitting) at 8:30 a.m. to observe class before you sign up!

Puppy Class: Our Beginner (or Puppy) Class is for dogs of all ages and people that need to learn the basics of training. In this class we practice socialization/play, "sit", "down", "wait", "trust transfer" (aka meeting new people) and introduce off-leash readiness concepts such as "stay" and "come".
Off-Leash Readiness: The next level of class after Puppy Class is Off-Leash Readiness. In this class, students learn how to begin to control their dog when he or she is off their leash. Dogs and people will learn concepts such as "stay" and "come" with the leash on for safety - this prepares dog and owner for off-leash activities in the future.
Private Dog Training
For behavior issues that cannot be solved in either Puppy Class or Off-Leash Readiness Class, the Great Falls / Reston Companion Dog Training School offers private in-home consultation and training with Lloyd Aguero. Each case is evaluated individually and recommendations are made by Lloyd based on his evaluation.
| You give a lot of "heart" to and through your work.It is energy that is felt not only by the canine community, also the human community is aware of this sympathetic resonance. The learning curve is huge. I always appreciate your words of encouragement, understanding, patience and direction. We know that they are wonderful....- Paula Hoogerland Feb. 2006 |
