Basic Manners focuses on enhancing our dogs' fundamental obedience skills. This class is ideal for dogs that are generally comfortable and relaxed around other dogs and people but require improvement in their obedience behaviors. We will cover a range of topics, including managing distractions, recall, loose leash walking, sit, down, the basics of stay, and many other essential skills.

We cover key topics like: engagement, name recognition, foundations to loose leash walking, feeling relaxed in the presence of other dogs, learning to turn away from distractions, and more!
