Obedience 1 Good Manners
A great starting point for dogs of almost any age, Obedience 1 teaches you how to use positive consequences to build good-mannered behaviors and address common challenges. You’ll learn important skills such as attention, sit, come, down, stay, loose-leash walking, leave it, waiting at doors and keeping four paws on the floor. We’ll also work on unwanted behaviors like jumping, barking, nipping and lunging.
Whether your goal is a well-mannered pet, therapy work, competition or simply a better relationship with your dog, this class gives you the foundation to keep moving forward.
