Group Classes: Real-World Reliability & Socialization 🐾
Our Group Classes are designed to solidify your dog's obedience in a fun, real-world environment. While practicing commands, your dog will safely socialize with other dogs and learn to focus and respond reliably despite high levels of distraction.
What You'll Achieve:
Proofing Obedience: Ensure your dog listens even with other dogs and people present.
Essential Socialization: Build confidence and appropriate social skills in a controlled setting.
Confidence for Owners: Gain the assurance that your dog will be reliable outside the home.
Marley’s Day Out now provides the most flexible training options with Open Enrollment! You can start any week, and your membership will begin on that date.
We have two options for group class enrollment!
1. Open Enrollment Monthly Unlimited Memberships
Similar to a gym membership, your membership fee pays for a period of time. During that time frame, you can use your unlimited credits to attend any of our classes and puppy socialization classes in whatever way works for you. Classes currently offered twice a week.
Once you've purchased your training membership, you'll be able to register for the specific class type, level, and time that you're interested in.
With a membership, your dog can move through the class at their own pace, whether they're quick learners or they need a little more practice. You can move through all four levels or work on a customized training plan. With no pressure on you or your dog to compete, the time you and your dog spend attending classes is up to you.

Current Classes Offered:
AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program (Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsible Owner)
is an engaging and essential course designed to give you and your new puppy the best possible start together. This class is an incentive program for responsible dog owners and is the perfect foundation for future training, including the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program.
Age: Puppies up to one year old.
Vaccinations: Current age-appropriate vaccinations are required.
Duration: The course is structured to meet the AKC requirement
of at least 6 weeks of instruction with an approved CGC Evaluator.
Urban Manners Class: Real-World Reliability
An intermediate course designed to take your dog's obedience skills out of the classroom and into
real-life, distracting situations.
This class meets at different pet-friendly locations each week (e.g., parks, shopping centers, outdoor cafes).
Prerequisites: Successful completion of a basic obedience class or instructor approval.
Focus: Proofing existing skills (Stay, Come, Loose-Leash Walking) under high distraction.
Skills Covered:
Loose-Leash Walking past people, dogs, and moving objects.
Café Manners: Settling quietly under a table while the handler interacts with others.
"Leave It" around dropped food, garbage, and tempting items.
Polite Greetings with strangers and their dogs.
Outcome: A dog that is reliable, calm, and trustworthy in any public setting.
Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Therapy Dog Prep Class is designed to build a strong foundation of good manners and obedience, preparing your dog for both the American Kennel Club's (AKC) CGC evaluation and the more rigorous requirements of a therapy dog certification (like those from Therapy Dogs International or Pet Partners).
The CGC is a 10-skill test that promotes responsible pet ownership and basic good manners. Successfully completing this evaluation is often a prerequisite or a major stepping stone for therapy dog programs. Our goal is to advance through all 3 Levels of the Canine Good Citizen Program: CGC, CGCA and Urban CGC
Prerequisites: Successful completion of a basic/advanced obedience class or instructor approval.
