About the Class
This 6-week course is designed to support dogs who struggle with big feelings on leash—whether that shows up as barking, lunging, or overexcitement.
You and your dog will have the opportunity to practice in a controlled environment with 3–6 other dogs and their handler(s) at different training levels.
We’ll focus on:
✔️ Clearer communication between you and your dog
✔️ Training games & activities to reduce reactivity
✔️ Building confidence & coping strategies for calmer walks
Our curriculum is rooted in positive reinforcement and backed by science—helping you and your dog make lasting progress together.
A portion of proceeds supports the MD SPCA’s community efforts.

Is This Class Right for My Dog?
This class is open to guardians with a dog who has recognizable triggers while out on a walk.
A trigger can be anything that sparks an extreme response—other dogs, people, bikes, cars, or even unexpected sounds. If your dog reacts strongly on leash, this class is designed for you.
Minimum Enrollment Requirement
This course has a minimum enrollment of 3 dogs. If the minimum is not met, we reserve the right to cancel the class. In the event of a cancellation due to low enrollment, all registered students will be notified by one week before the start date and will receive a 100% refund of all fees paid.
Weather Policy
When conditions make it unsafe for our dogs to be outside, classes may take place virtually.
Notification: You’ll receive an email 3 hours before class with a Google Meet link if we move online.
Possible conditions: temperatures below 30°, torrential rain, significant ice, etc.
Our goal: hold class in person whenever possible—but we know learning happens best when dogs are comfortable.
Please reach out directly if you have any concerns or accommodations regarding virtual learning.
Sliding Scale*
What We Offer
Baltimore k9 Tutors sliding scale services are available on a first-come, first-serve basis each month.
We have set number of spots available for sliding scale enrollment each month. If a sliding scale spot is not available at the time of request, it can be reserved for a future month.
Please note that sliding scale programming is not a simple “discount.” If you are able to pay for full-price services, please do, this is how we can ensure that our sliding scale options are available for those who need low cost dog training.
How to Access
Our sliding scale structure is not based on income alone, and we do not require you to provide any “proof” of need. What you can afford is related to your finances, but it’s not as simple as how much money you make. To qualify for our sliding scale pricing, just tell us you would like to use our sliding scale option!
How do I choose what to pay?
The Green Bottle chart (see here) expands our understanding of financial privilege and experience. Please use it to determine the level you’re able to invest in dog training services. See below for image description.
