Private & Group Lessons

Foundations Trainer

Our Foundations private lessons are perfect for puppies or dogs brand-new to training. These one-hour sessions focus on the basics: sit, stay, down, come, and leash manners. We’ll also cover common household behaviors such as jumping, barking, potty training, and greeting guests politely.

The goal is to build a strong foundation you and your dog can practice daily.

Availability: Tuesday – Saturday, earliest lesson at 9am, last lesson at 5pm.

Intermediate Trainer

Intermediate Trainer: Intermediate private lessons take the basics further with added distractions, better leash control, and problem-solving for issues like pulling, jumping, or excitability around people and other dogs. This level introduces off-leash obedience and prepares dogs for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test if they’re social. These sessions are designed for families ready to strengthen consistency at home and in public.

Availability: Friday-Tuesday, earliest lesson at 9 AM, last lesson at 4 PM.

Behavior Specialist (Fon Villanueva):

Aggression & Bite Cases

Lessons with our Behavior Specialist are tailored for dogs with advanced needs or serious behavior issues. Fon, our senior trainer and police canine trainer, specializes in aggression, reactivity, fear-based behaviors, resource guarding, and bite cases. He also offers advanced obedience and protection training upon request. These one-hour sessions provide structured, customized solutions to help you and your dog succeed safely.

Puppy Group Lessons

Our Puppy Group Lessons are designed for young dogs to start off on the right paw! These fun, positive sessions focus on socialization, confidence building, and simple commands like sit, down, come, and leash manners. Puppies learn to engage with their handlers while being introduced to other dogs and people in a safe, structured environment. This early foundation helps prevent unwanted behaviors and sets your pup up for success as they grow.

Availability: Saturdays at at 1pm

Basic Group Lessons

Once your pup has completed 2-3 private lessons, they’re ready for the next step! Our Basic Group Lessons are designed to help you and your dog practice obedience skills around real-life distractions such as other dogs, new people, and a busier environment. These classes focus on building confidence, teamwork, and handler communication so your dog learns to listen even when the world around them is exciting.

Availability: Mondays at 4pm and Saturdays at 10am

Intermediate Group

Our Intermediate Group Lessons are an 8-week course that puts the “3 D’s” of training into action: Distance, Duration, and Distractions. With up to 10 dogs in a class, your pup will work on maintaining obedience while surrounded by new challenges, preparing them for outings public spaces, and everyday life. This course is ideal for owners who want their dog to become neutral, reliable, and calm in any environment.

Availability: Sundays at 9am and Tuesdays at 7pm

All sessions are one hour at our facility with you, your dog, and your trainer.

Our Testimonials

I cannot say enough good things about Fon’s Canines. They are extremely knowledgeable, and they really understand dogs of all types. They cater the training to your dogs’ specific needs, and not cookie-cutter training like other trainers out there. Ricky and Fon were extremely patient and understood our dogs way of thinking to ensure he was successful. Safety is a focus, and we had more headway in 4 private lessons than we have in the 3 years we’ve had our pup. They’ve made walks and taking our dog in public stress-free and enjoyable for the first time ever! Thank you so much for everything!

Ash Drake

I cant say enough good things about Fon’s Canines. Laurie was great at answering the multitude of our questions and getting us scheduled for our puppies training…We could immediately see the difference in Vern. He was calmer and in more control. We received nearly 1.5 hours of personalized training for us to practice and reinforce the behaviors that were taught to Vern. Much to our surprise, the last step in the process was for a trainer to come to our home 2 days later to see how things were progressing, add any other in-home training we needed and answer any questions we had.

Chris Madsen

If your looking for the best place to have your dog trained regardless of dog breed, look no further. Fon’s Canines is the best hands down! We’ve been taking our boy GATOR here for training and boarding as well since he was a puppy and we couldn’t be happier with the results and customer service they provide.

Jorge Cuevas

I would give a million stars if I could!! Fon’s Canines changed my life and my dog’s life. I came to Fon’s Canines to train my golden retriever puppy. I am not sure who learned more, the dog or me. They gave me the tools and confidence to train my dog and any other dogs I may have in the future. The things I learned here I will carry with me in all K9 experiences in the future.
