Family Dog Manners Classes
The Family Dog Manners Class focuses on teaching owners how to train their dogs using the most up-to-date applications of science and learning theory. The exercises taught are useful for a companion and family pet. The class uses positive methods to tap into your dog’s intelligence and eagerness to work for food, toys, social or environmental rewards. The Family Dog Manners Class initially focuses on calming your dog and building attention and impulse control. We then begin teaching behaviors that will make your dog a more polite and enjoyable family companion.
The cost for Family Dog Manners is $175. This class will have two groups that meet on Thursdays; one will meet at 6pm, and the second will meet at 7:15 pm.
Class dates are: August 13th (ORIENTATION 6:30-8:30PM), 27th, September 24th, Oct. 8th, 22nd, Nov. 5th and 19th
