| Wild Canine's group classes are limited to 10 dogs to ensure individual attention for every dog/human team and to minimize the stress an over-filled class can cause. Classes are held in three locations: Greenfield, Mequon and Jackson, WI. Classes are standardized so that if you miss one you can easily make it up on a separate date. All classes are taught by head trainer and owner, Jen Digate. |
