Manner Classes

Are you ready to get your dog on the road toward good manners? Then, let's grab the steering wheel and hit the gas! 

Most group classes that are out there expect you to do 6 long weeks of training and try to cram in as many skills in the 1 hour. giving you no time to practice during class or have one-on-one time with the trainer. Our basic manner classes are designed to take in 4 week stages with skills strategically placed to optimize your time in class. We stride to create a calm and relaxing learning environment not only for your dog, but for you as well.   

​

Class prerequisite & Details:

  • These classes are for any dogs over the ago of 8 months old. If you have a puppy, check out our puppy class options  

  • Each class may have its own prerequisite due to the level of training your dog must have before taking that particular class, please look at the details of each class
