Good Manners & Super Puppy Classes
A great class for Puppies and Adult dogs, all Family Members welcome. Start out on the right paw with your new puppy or dog. This is the best time to teach your pup the behaviors you want him to do for the rest of your lives together. Perfect your communications skills with your dog by working on these commands: sit, down, leave it, wait, drop it, loose leash walking, target and much more. Learning these commands and other new tricks will keep your dog interested, occupied and a well behaved member of your family. Each class will cover a new topic and include problem solving techniques. Learn these basic commands and have a calmer more well mannered puppy/dog so you can all live peacefully in your household together. Class includes an Instruction Manual.
