  • Students and dogs that complete this class can continue into the Better Pet manners/CGC class.

Pet Manners Class Description:

Your adult dog is NOT too old to learn to be a well-mannered member of your family. We will  teach you to train your adult dog how to sit, down, stand, stay, come. Just as in Puppy Kindergarten, we train the older puppies, young adults, and mature adult dogs by molding behavior using reward and/or substituting behavior . Corrections may be necessary on some dogs due to pulling when walking with the owner or resolving other undesirable behaviors. Your dog may not know what you want. We will teach you to communicate with your dog.
