Social Club
Ingrid Bostrom
DOG GYM Social Club is a 90-minute, coach-led outdoor class designed to build real-world obedience, manners, and calm behavior in a group setting, with the final 30 minutes of enrichment shaping how dogs engage, express, and carry the work forward.
Ingrid Bostrom
The first 60 minutes focus on practical skills you can use anywhere—loose leash walking, position work, recall, and learning how to move through the world with clarity and neutrality around other dogs and people. This is where handlers build timing, awareness, and communication with their dog in real time.
The final 30 minutes shift into enrichment. Dogs engage their senses through activities like agility and nosework, building confidence, problem-solving skills, and a deeper connection to their environment. This is where expression opens up—your dog gets to think, explore, and guide.
What to expect
Social Club is open to all levels. Reactive and special-needs dogs are welcome.
