Basic Manners

This series of lessons will set you and your dog up for adventures! It’s an entry level reward-based marker training class which focuses on building communication and creating a stronger relationship with your dog. We will teach you the skills necessary for your dog to become a solid citizen. You and your dog are encouraged to work at your own level.

In this series of six lessons, you’ll learn the basics of all positive training and feel the benefits as your bond with your dog grows.
