Basic Manners: Sit, down, stay, come!, don’t jump, good leash walking, name recognition, leave it, drop it and more! Great for young dogs, newly rehomed dogs, & dogs of any age to brush up their skills. Meets 5 times; your dog comes to all the sessions.

Intermediate Manners: Like High School for your dog -- don't stop at Basic, life requires more! Walk on a loose leash past a high distraction item or Come! to you past a temptation like a person or toy, walk past another dog & handler team without puling or stopping to say Hi....lots of real life practice once your dog knows the basics!

Bump Up Your Skills: Participants select 3-5 behaviors. They may include “Come!”, leash walking, drop it, don’t jump! Each class creates its own list. What’s yours?

Three Critical Skills: Come When Called, Walk Nicely on Leash, and Greet People Politely. This focused, intensive course meets 3 times and concentrates on these three most important life skills.

Try Rally Obedience: This is a playful version of formal competition obedience. You and your dog partner to perform cues such as circle to the right, 1-step sit/2 steps sit/3 steps sit, down stays with distractions, and much more!
