DOG TRAINING CLASS: Basic Manners
Your dog is learning all the time. Are you teaching him to behave, or to misbehave?
Give your puppy or new dog the right start. Enroll in our Basic Manners Class.
We teach you and your family how to teach your dog good manners. We break the basics down into 5 simple sessions. Each week, you leave class with everything you need to complete your homework. Plan to practice together daily, to be ready for the next class.
We’re so confident of our dog training that we offer
a 30-day, full money-back guarantee.
What Will We Learn?
Our dog training follows the lesson plans in our class textbook, the K-9 Coach's Playbook. (Your receive our complete K-9 Coach's Training Kit during your first class. The kit includes the Playbook, our "Keys to a Fantastic Dog!" video and the training tools we use in class.)
We cover the following topics in our Basic Manners dog training:
-
Dog handling
-
Obedience
-
Walking on a loose leash
-
Sit, down and stay
-
Coming when called

Using an emergency recall word

Ending jumping, barking and digging

“Leave it”
-
“Go to your place”
-
Boundary training
-
Retrieving

Basic behavior modification techniques

Because one training style does not suit all dogs and owners, we’ll use many, including

Contrast Training
-
Bridge and Target
-
Follow Through

Canine Coaching
We’ll show you how to use food rewards and positive reinforcement effectively, and then quickly phase treats out of your dog training. By the end of class, your dog will be following your lead, not performing for snacks.
