About Woof2Hoof Canine Training

Classes and private sessions around Rochester

Woof2Hoof Canine & Equine Training is a Rochester-area dog training business led by Becky Rene, CPDT, with a second certified trainer working alongside her. The site says private sessions travel all around Rochester and Monroe County, and group classes run at a Rochester location on Mt Hope Ave.

Group classes

The published class list includes AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy, AKC Canine Good Citizen, AKC CGC/Therapy Dog, Basic Obedience, Reliable Recall, Loose Leash Walking, Rover Reactive and Fear Factor, mostly in four- to eight-week courses priced from $90 to $200. At least two trainers attend each group session, which the site says allows individual help in larger classes.

Private sessions

Private lessons target jumping, excessive barking, nipping, fear and poor leash walking, priced at $125 per session for one trainer or $175 for two, with lower rates for three or more sessions. A private loose leash walking lesson is also offered by appointment.

Approach

The home page describes a non-violent approach using positive reinforcement; the about page calls it a balanced, positive approach.

What to ask

Ask when the next class session starts, whether your dog fits a group class or a private session, and how far outside Rochester private visits go.
