Basic Manners
Description
Group classes are a wonderful way to learn while working in a high-distraction setting. Working with other dogs and people in a controlled environment, we will teach you how to teach your dog to focus on you. We use verbal cues and visual cues (hand signals), using a force-free method so that you and your dog learn to communicate effectively with each other without force, fear, pain, or intimidation.Our Basic Manners starts when you are ready and is available four (4) times per week. Buy a pass and attend up to 8 classes during the 6 weeks (45 days).
We cover all the basics you need in order to enrich your relationship with your pup and have a polite, well-mannered four-legged friend.
