New puppy or unruly dog?

At Leader of the Pack Dog Training, we offer various classes to help your dog become better behaved. Our group classes are five weeks long and cost $300.

These classes are held at Leader of the Pack, 363 Billings Rd, Quincy, MA!

Basic Obedience Class

This class offers the ability to teach your dog the commands sit, down, come, drop it, heel, stay, and much more. We will also teach various approaches on solving problematic behavior including mouthing, jumping, and chewing.

Second Level Obedience Class

This dog training class focuses on training your dog to behave under various distractions, such as sound, movement, and objects. It is recommended that your dog already knows the basic sit, down, stay, and come commands before taking this class.

Canine Good Citizen Class

This course is designed to get your dog ready for the CGC certificate and title, which is awarded through the American Kennel Club. The following are the 10 points needed for the AKC to award a dog the gold standard for dog behavior.

K9 Nosework Class

K9 Nosework is a popular and rapidly growing dog sport that taps into the incredible olfactory abilities of dogs. Also known as scent work or nose work, this activity allows dogs to use their keen sense of smell to locate and identify specific scents. This class encourages dogs to use their noses to find hidden scents in various environments. This not only provides mental stimulation but also strengthens the bond between the dog and its handler. The sport is inclusive, making it suitable for all breeds and ages, from puppies to senior dogs.

Trick and Shaping Training Class

This 5 week class is designed to teach your dog fun tricks like paw, push a button for love, take a bow and more.

Recall Training Class

This two-session recall training class for dogs is designed to teach your pup to come back to you on command, no matter the distractions. These classes focus on building a strong bond between you and your dog while reinforcing a reliable and enthusiastic response to the recall cue. Through positive reinforcement techniques, your dog will learn to associate coming when called with fun rewards like treats, praise, and playtime. Whether you're looking to improve your dog's off-leash behavior or just want peace of mind on walks, recall training helps foster safety, trust, and better communication with your furry friend.

With patience, consistency, and the right techniques, you’ll build a stronger bond with your dog and help them navigate the world with greater confidence.

Real Clients, Real Stories

See what our happy clients have to say about Leader of the Pack!
“Leader of the Pack’s approach is positive and realistic.”

“We learned effective tools and techniques to get a better handle on our very active Australian Cattle Dog. Leader of the Pack’s approach is positive and realistic. Positive in the sense that she doesn’t use choke collars or do any shock treatments! The focus is picking a word that you assign to certain behaviors and train the dog with treats and praise to understand what you want them to do. Realistic in the sense that she understands that your dog is your pet and part of your pack, and though you need to become the leader of your pack, as owners we weren’t scolded for wanting our dog on the couch or to sleep at the bottom of the bed or to give them love–just make them earn it first with a few quick commands. All around, it worked out great! We did 4 sessions and we really feel we have better control over our dog and our pack is happier because of it!!!”
