Want a dog who's a pleasure to take places?
In Good Manners class, you'll learn how to make good behavior fun for your dog — and you! You'll receive detailed instructions and individual feedback on how to help Spot become a well-mannered member of your family.
While this is a Level 1 class, we go beyond the basics, with the philosophy that the more different behaviors you learn to teach your dog, the better equipped you'll be to teach different behaviors on your own in the future.
Appropriate for puppies 10 weeks and up, and dogs of all ages.
Dogs must be tolerant of other dogs & of people. Dogs exhibiting aggressive behavior will be dismissed without refund. If you have questions about your dog's readiness for a group class, please contact Barbara.
