Small dog training? 4.5 lbs?
Yes all dogs. They have a great puppy headstart and basic obedience program. They also offer great more specialized classes such as Agility, Rally, etc.

Awesome place for positive dog training for obedience, trucks, rally and agility!! They even have a pool for rehab or just exercising your dogs. Peak Performance is also based out of the Academy for rehab, diagnosis and strength training with Dr Lauren Blackson DVM. I can't say enough good things about the Academy and all of their staff!!

I have a very difficult puppy. I told them this before classes started and suggested 1 on 1 training; no response. I went to the first class w/o puppy and, as they suggested, asked them immediately on FB when I was having trouble with training (she would go after the clicker, etc.). One response, then I responded to that, and then nothing. I told them we were ready to rehome her and again suggested 1 on 1; no response. I showed up to class with the puppy and she was out of control with very very little help from the administrators.
Really great experience here, despite reaching out to them mid pandemic. We were able to observe part of 1 class and take part in one with our older dog. Both instructors were fantastic and happy to talk with us and get to know our current dog. Our older dog will be taking classes with them in the future, and we've already signed up for their puppy class for the puppy we are bringing home soon.
Great place for learning alongside your dog on how to gain new skills!
