Special Topics Classes

Periodically we offer special topics classes that we think our class and private clients would enjoy and get value from or by special request. No prior training is required for these topics classes, so it's also a way for us to meet new friends and their dogs, as well! All classes are held at the Webster Groves Recreation Complex at I-44 and Elm Ave with trainer, Nicole Berthold!
