Training that Builds Bonds
Our classes focus on connection, confidence and joyful learning. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to strengthen your skills, Calliope’s Crew offers supportive, reward based training options for every pup, all taught with patience, clarity, and plenty of reinforcement.
Howdy Hounds
Howdy Hounds is a welcoming introductory training class that helps both handlers and dogs build confidence with the basics of force-free, reward-based training. You’ll learn clear, effective communication skills while your dog gains the everyday manners and foundations they need to shine at home and out in the world. It’s an encouraging first step into training together—one that strengthens your connection and sets you up for long-term success as a team.
$150 for the 6 week course
Mondays at 5 pm in Edgewater Park starting February 2nd (max 5 dogs)
Behavioral Consulations
Our behavioral consultations offer personalized, force-free guidance tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Before your virtual session, you’ll complete a brief questionnaire to help us understand your goals and your dog’s current behavior. During the video call, we’ll walk through a custom action plan—complete with enrichment ideas, lesson recommendations, and step-by-step strategies—to help you and your dog thrive. Whether you’re navigating behavior challenges or simply strengthening communication, we’re here to support you with clarity, compassion, and a plan that works.
Starting at $110

Join the crew and watch your dog become part of the true Wrecking Chew team!

Not sure where to start?
