Canine Manners
Sold out
Wednesday 7:45pm | Manners & Basic Training
This fun multi-week program is for puppies, young dogs, new family dogs, or dogs that need a basic training refresher. It is perfect for those wanting to learn how to train their dog using positive reinforcement. Your dog will learn behaviors such as sit, down, stay, come, watch, wait at doors, greet people nicely, leave forbidden items, walk on a loose leash, and drop items when asked. You'll learn skills to help your dog work calmly in an environment around other dogs (in preparation for dog/handler teams that plan to continue with agility or nosework training). The goal is to have a well-mannered dog at home and when out in public - and this class will give you the tools to achieve success!
- Teach your dog basic household manners
- Help you determine what motivates your dog and how to use that to quickly and effectively train the wanted behaviors
- Teach problem-solving skills for both you and your dog
- Build reliability around distractions such as other dogs, people, noises
- Manage common issues such as barking and jumping
