Basic Manners Classes
Basic Manners I (Training & Behavior)In this five week class your dog will learn the basic obedience and communication skills needed to be a well mannered member of the family and help you build a better relationship. We'll work on paying attention, sit, stay, walk on leash without pulling, lie down, wait, and come. We'll also work on impulse control and overall just being a polite member of the family. This class is a great start to a follow on agility class. The class is available to all dogs four months of age and older and current on vaccinations.
The cost of this class is $85. Owners who have adopted a dog from a rescue organization or humane society or SPCA within the last 90 days are eligible for a $20 discount.
