Manners 1

In this fun foundation class, you will teach your dog to walk politely on a leash.  Your dog will also learn basic obedience commands such as sit, down, come, and stay using positive reinforcement.  This class is a wonderful way to build relationship with your dog as you learn to communicate effectively with each other. It may be determined that some dogs are ready to be evaluated for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) at the end of this course.

  • Dog must be current on all vaccinations
  • Trainer must be at least 16 years of age (well-behaved children are welcome to come watch if you bring a chair for them)
  • Collar & Leash – Your puppy should have a properly fitting collar (martingale style collars are highly recommended).  Leashes should be six feet long and made of either leather or nylon.  Flexi-leashes and chain leashes are not acceptable.
  • Treats – Our classes use food rewards to reinforce correct behaviors.  Please bring tasty treats that your dog enjoys.  Your dog will be more motivated to work if it comes to class hungry.
  • Water – Please bring either a bowl or water dispenser so that your dog can have a drink during breaks.
  • Courtesy – Please exercise the “3-foot rule.”  Every dog shoud have three feet in front, behind, and on both sides at all times.  This is not only basic obedience school courtesy, but it is also important for safety.
  • Tuition – $90.00 ($92 if paying by credit card, Venmo or PayPal)
  • Six consecutive weekly one hour classes
