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.

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.

Exercises include going through tunnels, over jumps, across narrow planks, navigating wobbly objects, & warm-up tricks. Learning to motivate your dog with toys and food, and building up to off-leash control will also be discussed. This class is appropriate for puppies, as jumps are low & kept to a minimum.
