Basic Obedience/House Manners
Great for dogs of all ages - from puppies (after they have had all their shots) - to those older dogs that just need a refresher in minding their manners.
In a group setting, the dogs receive socialization with other dogs - as well as people. They are provided a safe, non-threatening atmosphere where they are taught basic house manners such as: SIT, STAY, DOWN, WAIT, LEAVE IT, and to walk on a leash.
You will learn to teach the dog to COME when called; using voice commands as well as whistle training - which is a more powerful stimulant to get your dog's attention when your voice is not enough. The basis of all levels of training places emphasis on positive reinforcement. Also, the training consists of addressing any specific issues that individual dogs may be having.
