Basic Manners Training Classes


Just finished the puppy series? Want to start training and bonding with your new companion the right way? Effective communication is key - learn how your dog thinks, so you can teach them in a way that is easy for them to learn. Often, it can be tough trying to control those testing teenagers. This class focuses on behavior problem solving, impulse control, barking, jumping, counter surfing, and obedience commands such as “come”, “heel”, “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “watch me”, “no jumping”, “go to bed”, and “leave it”. Teach your dog to come when called with enthusiasm, no matter the distraction!

Prerequisites & Eligibility

  • Ages 16 weeks and older.
  • Your dog must be current on Bordetella, DHPP, Flu, and Rabies at 16 weeks and older, that have been administered by a veterinarian. We recommend pets receive these vaccines at least 2 weeks prior for full immunity, when possible.
  • Unsure of which class is right for you? Contact your dog trainer, Jean N. Gauchat, for guidance.

Frequency & Class Size

Classes are one hour per week for 6 weeks. Your first session is without your dog, for orientation. You will enjoy small class sizes, for individual attention.
