Basic Obedience & Good Manners I Classes
6 sessions course, 1 hour per session
You will learn the foundation of basic manners for dogs. This class is designed for dogs that have had no prior training or were unsuccessful at previous training attempts. We will discuss polite behavior, jumping, barking, nipping and house soiling. Your dog will learn impulse control and calm behaviors to help you feel more in control. This class will also take basic obedience behaviors such as sit, wait, stay, down, come, walk nicely, no jumping up, leave-it and teach you how to apply them to daily life with your dog. We use positive, creative techniques to teach your dog how to think and how to make good choices. These techniques help build confidence in your dog while forging a trusting bond between you and your pup.
All dogs 3 months (with vaccines) and up are welcome! To register for class e-mail info@divinek-9.com
