Core Manners

Remember to start by attending Orientation!

Come This Way

Does your dog seem to have “selective hearing” at the dog park? Do you have to chase your dog around to get her to come in from the yard every morning? This class is jam packed with games for teaching your dog to pay attention and come when called – the first time you call her.

Settle & Stay Put

How many times do you have to say “sit,” “down,” or “stay” before your dog will listen to you? Learn how to get those behaviors the first time you ask. Your dog will learn to sit & down on just one cue, and to stay in those positions until you ask them to get up – even if they get distracted.

Polite in Public

Would you like to go for a walk without getting dragged by your dog? Would you enjoy taking your dog to outdoor seating at restaurants and cafes? We’ll help you teach your dog to walk politely on leash, rest by your side while you’re dining, and greet people politely without jumping up.

Self-Control

Does your dog ever: steal food off the table? Jump on guests? Snatch food off the sidewalk? Learn the crucial difference between “imposed control” (what most dog trainers teach) and “self control” – a dog who stops herself from jumping, stealing, or snatching the things she wants.

Attention Please

Is your dog distracted by every leaf, squirrel, dog, sight, or sound when you try to train them? Do you have to repeat yourself to get your dog to listen? In this class, you’ll teach your dog to focus on you no matter what is happening nearby. 

Electives

Feeling Happy

Does your dog wiggle or flail when you try to hold them, groom them, or restrain them? Does your dog run away or growl if you try to take a chew, toy, or food bowl away from them? This class is all about creating “happy feelings” around both of these scenarios!

Prerequisite Classes: 2 Self-Control classes.

Equipment: A sturdy plastic or metal container to put treats in, such as a Tupperware.

NOTE: If your dog has ever attempted to bite you or another person, contact us before enrolling in this class. 

Look Don’t Lunge

This class is exclusively for dogs in Puppy Day School, Intensive Training Programs, and private lesson programs.

Does your dog occasionally bark or pull when they first notice another dog on walks or in training class, but is otherwise friendly and curious? This class uses visual barriers and extra distance between dogs to set you up for success. Learn to teach your dog exactly what to do when they see another dog: look, without lunging or barking!

There are no prerequisite classes, other than Orientation, for Look Don’t Lunge.

Advanced Manners

Distraction Action

In this class, you’ll learn how to use the things your dog finds distracting to make their manners training even stronger! Whether your dog is distracted by people, other dogs, critters, smells, toys, skateboards, or something else, we’ll teach you how to work through it in this class.
