BEGINNER OBEDIENCE & GOOD MANNERS
Want a dog who listens better? In this basic training course, dog parents will learn how to best communicate with their dogs in order to teach them good manners. Positive reinforcement training methods are used to teach the following behaviors: touch, look, sit, down, stand, come, settle, wait, take it, loose-leash walking, and more. Other topics include separation anxiety, agility exercises, impulse control, and canine communication. This eight-week, indoor course is for dogs aged six months and older or graduates of our Puppy Kindergarten course.
All dogs must be friendly & comfortable around new dogs & people. If your dog is not comfortable, please contact sandy@high-hopes.net to discuss the right training for you & your dog.
