Family Dog I

You want your dog to be a good family canine companion...but how do you do that?! Your dog will need to understand how to better navigate a human world, and this means mastering some foundation skills. We do just that in this introductory course.

COURSE DETAILS

Using fun and engaging training games that make sense to your dog, we will help them understand what they need to do day-to-day to be a "good dog". 


This includes:

  • Offering automatic sits when they want something

  • Learning to greet people politely

  • Going to their bed during "people time" (mealtime, watching a movie, etc.)

  • Waiting politely at doors instead of rushing through

  • Coming when called

  • Staying in place when asked

  • Introduction to walking nicely on-leash

  • and much more!


Likewise, we will help YOU be a better dog owner! You will walk away with a better understanding of why your dog may be doing something in the first place and how you can better set them, and yourself, up for success.


SHOULD YOU TAKE THIS COURSE?


Do you have a new dog? Whether you adopted a dog from a shelter or have a dog from a breeder, now is the time to train the manners they will need to live harmoniously in your home!


Does your dog need a manners refresher? We will help ensure your dog has a solid foundation on all the essential behaviors and you have the tools you will need to customize the results for what your life demand are.


Does your dog seem bored? Our dogs are smart creatures who thrive when given an opportunity to think! Give them a "job" with training and see how you can build off of it going forward!
