Manners Classes

Puppies are fun, busy, and learning all the time! Puppy 101 helps you build good habits from the start.

We’ll work on attention, coming when called, settling, handling, leash skills, and polite greetings, along with common puppy challenges like biting, jumping, chewing, and potty training.

The goal: A happy, confident puppy who loves learning with you.

Great for: Puppies under 16 weeks when class begins.

The goal: A confident puppy who is learning that paying attention to you is worth it.

Your puppy is growing, getting braver, and noticing everything!

Puppy 102 builds on those early skills as the world becomes more exciting. We’ll work on better focus, easier walks, coming when called, settling, and making good choices around everyday distractions.

The goal: Help your puppy grow into a confident, well-mannered dog who enjoys working with you.

Next step: Level 1, where you’ll build the everyday skills you and your growing dog will use for life.

You don’t need a perfectly trained dog. You need a dog you can live with.

Level 1 gives you the skills for everyday life. Learn how to get your dog’s attention, walk together without constant pulling, come when called, settle on a mat, leave things alone, and greet people more politely.

You’ll learn simple, reward-based training you can use at home, on walks, and wherever you and your dog go.

Great for: dogs over 15 weeks who are new to training or need a fresh start.

“He knows it at home!”

Level 2 helps your dog use the skills they learned in Level 1 when life gets more interesting.

We’ll work on walking past distractions, coming when called when something else is more exciting, staying connected with you around other dogs and people, settling, and making better choices without you constantly reminding them.

Already taken Level 2? Keep coming. Each class stands on its own, so you and your dog can continue working at the level that’s right for you.

Your dog knows the skills. Now let’s make them useful in real life.

Level 3 is about putting the skills together. Your dog learns to listen and stay connected when other dogs are moving, people are nearby, something exciting happens, or you’re asking for more distance and duration.

We’ll work on calm focus, impulse control, leash skills, recalls, settling and responding around increasingly challenging distractions.

Because each class stands alone, you can join at any time and work at your own level.

The goal isn’t a dog who only behaves in class. It’s a dog who can use those skills in everyday life.
