If you are new to Family Dog, this is a good place to get an overview of our training center. We offer a wide variety of classes for all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs (regardless of pedigree!), as well as private lessons in our 5,000 square-foot Kent facility. We are conveniently located off Highway 167 with easy access. Folks drive from all over Western Washington to take weekly classes from us.

Our group classes are limited in size to ensure plenty of individual attention for all participants. Family members, including well-behaved children, are encouraged to attend class and participate with the dog.
