Beginners - Obedience and Manners

​

During this 1 hour, weekly drop-in group class we emphasize proper manners, basic obedience, socialization, & prevention of common behavior problems.  Dogs are taught basic commands - attention to handler, sit, down, stay, stand, come, loose leash walking, as well as basic manners - accepting handling (paws/teeth) taking treats gently, no jumping, & developing a soft mouth (stopping puppy nipping).  We introduce confidence building exercises & enrichment activities & socialization with people & other dogs - important, but often neglected aspects of proper canine development.  We also address dog care & common  behavior issues such as housebreaking, chewing, & biting. We guarantee your pup's first introduction to training will be non-stressful & fun!
