All classes are with dogs. This is a basic manners course that shows you how to teach your dog the essential skills needed to succeed in everyday life. We will cover the following:

Leash Manners

Impulse Control
And more!

The manners covered in this course are a prerequisite for other classes or activities you may plan to do with your dog in the future.

All dogs must be 6 months or older to attend this class. Dogs who are older than one year should be spayed or neutered prior to the start of class.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

We rarely cancel class due to inclement weather. If we're experiencing a significant weather event (snow, ice, etc.), we will make every effort to contact participants at least an hour and a half prior to class start time in the event that we have to cancel class.

CANCELLATION / REFUND POLICY

Registrations that are cancelled seven or more days prior to the start of class will be refunded in full. Registrations cancelled with fewer than seven days notice will not be refunded and we will not offer credit toward future sessions for missed classes.
