Manners
Is your dog pulling on leash? Are they jumping all over your guests? Do you struggle to get them to come when called? Then our Manners class is the perfect fit! In this class, your instructor will coach you through skills such as loose leash walking, calming waiting, polite greeting, sit and down stay, and more. Teaching your dog what to do will provide more compliance and less frustration for you both. This is a 6-week class that meets for one hour each week. It is designed for dogs over 5 months of age (or graduates from Puppy class). Students with newly adopted dogs who are new to training or dogs who need to brush up on their manners are a great fit to attend this class. *Dogs should be people and dog-friendly.
