Gloucester's group ladder

A Gloucester puppy can start at eight weeks, learning house manners, meeting new people and dogs, and the cues sit, down and come. At 16 weeks it can graduate to Beginner, with games and loose-leash practice, and by six months to Fundamentals, where jumping and barking get attention. Gloucester's Advanced level covers heel, greetings and a recall that holds near distractions. Courses last six weeks, classes an hour, with four other dogs at most.

One-on-one

Private lessons at store 3722 last 45 minutes on a flexible schedule; new customers start with Private Lesson 101.
