For dogs and puppies older than 6 months with no previous training OR graduates of Puppy Manners.

*This class is designed for NON-reactive dogs. If your dog barks continuously, growls, lunges or in general cannot tolerate dogs or people within 20 feet of them, please select a private lesson instead!*

This is a 6 week class for learning our basic family dog skills such as sit, down, come, wait, and leash walking, as well as practicing polite greetings and learning management practices to prevent undesired behavior.

This class is Fear Free and positive reinforcement based, meaning no choke chains, no prong collars, no E-collars, no slip leashes. Please bring your dog on a comfortable collar or harness and a standard 6 foot leash. NO retractable leashes!

Bring 1-2 cups of pinky nail sized soft treats (you can use a freeze dried dog food like Dr. Marty's to replace pup's meal if you'd like)! Bring something your dog REALLY likes as they are likely to be distracted in the challenging space! Skip dinner or only give a half portion if you think pup needs more motivation!

This class will meet at Lucky Dog CT at 163 S Broad St Unit 12 Stonington CT.
