Not sure what program is right for you--or more importantly--your dog? 

Let one of our premier trainers guide you in creating a custom plan to help you understand your dog, demystify the human-canine-communication process, and create a balanced atmosphere that will benefit your entire household. 

*Canine Communication Workshop REQUIRED prior to ANY training at GYSSD*

Please provide CURRENT vaccinations

Let one of our premier trainers guide you on a path of wellness created specifically for you and your dog. Many of the canine behaviors people consider "problem" are actually a dog's failed attempt to communicate their needs. Let one of our trainers help you understand and communicate with your dog in such a way that your entire household will find balance.

Our private lessons are held in our state of the art facility in Maryville, IL. For our trainers' safety, we do not offer in-home lessons.

*Canine Communication Workshop REQUIRED prior to ANY training at GYSSD*

Please provide CURRENT vaccinations

This is a prerequisite class that all dog owners must take before signing up for group classes. At the Got Your Six Support Dogs Training Academy we believe mental wellness should encompass humans and canines. 

Before anyone can train their dog, they must have the ability to understand them. What many people interpret as "problem" behaviors are actually a dog's attempt at communication. **THIS IS A HUMAN ONLY CLASS. Please no dogs** The $50 class is for 2 adults of the same household.

Suitable for all breeds and ages from puppy to Veteran. We have condensed our 3 part workshop series into one day, to enable those from further afield to join us.

During this day we will revive your stacks and movement; polish your handling skills; recap exercises to build peak condition in your dogs and much more.

Please bring a packed lunch with you, hot drinks will be provided, there is hot water for pot noodles etc. 

These places are limited and once booked are non-refundable. Please see T&Cs for full T&Cs.
