Looking for Group?
Group Programs with Like Magic
Small-group classes designed to build real-life skills, emotional resilience, and a better relationship between you and your dog.
These programs are for guardians who want support beyond one-off lessons — without committing to intensive one-on-one training. Each class combines structured material, live discussion, and practical application so learning actually translates into daily life.
Group Courses blend self-led lessons with live coaching. You get immediate access to evergreen course material, weekly homework, video feedback via a private group chat, and a weekly live Q&A. It’s designed to help bridge the missing step between training skills and using them successfully in real life.
Whether you’re laying foundations with a young dog or smoothing out friction with an adolescent or adult, these classes are built to meet you where you are.
If you’re unsure which program fits your dog — or if group learning is right for you right now — Guidance is the best place to begin.
Guidance includes a consultation, a personalized plan, and short-term coaching to help you decide what support will actually move the needle for your dog.
Solve Your Training Troubles
Targeted classes for common real-life challenges
Boss Battles are short, focused group classes that tackle one specific friction point at a time — like loose leash walking, living room manners, impulse control, or recall.
Instead of trying to “cover everything,” each Boss Battle zooms in on a single issue that’s making daily life harder, then gives you the skills, context, and support to smooth it out.

5 weeks of guided practice
Self-led lessons
Weekly live Q&A and coaching
Community discussion and troubleshooting

Loose leash walking beyond the driveway. Learn practical handling, reward timing, and pattern games that actually work in real environments. Designed for pulling, zig-zagging, and leash frustration — without relying on equipment or constant corrections.
Build calm, neutral behavior around people, dogs, and distractions. This class supports dogs who bark, lunge, shut down, or struggle to cope in public spaces. Focuses on emotional regulation, space management, and handler skills for real-world success.

Ranger Class
Predation substitute training, off-leash skills, and real-world application
Ranger Class focuses on building safe, functional outlets for natural behaviors like chasing, grabbing, and hunting — while developing engagement, recall, and off-leash skills where appropriate.

Format: Small group cohort

GRIT
Guided Rehabilitation & Integration Training
GRIT is centered around giving dogs—including reactive, over-aroused, or “big feelings” dogs—more access to freedom of movement in nature while coexisting safely around other dogs, people, and environmental triggers.
The goal is not direct interaction, but neutrality, decompression, and guided choices that prioritize environmental engagement rather than handler focus.
Best for: Dogs with solid hiking experience but have trouble regulating when in a group
Format: Small group cohort
Next session: Summer 2026
