Good manners learned through positive reinforcement and behavioral science. Group Classes are a wonderful way to help build confidence and explore the world of training! In order to find good balance and proper manners, we have designed classes to cover everything from the basics to advanced and specialty training.
PUPPY PLAYHOUSE
This course is a starting point for pups on their way to becoming well mannered and well adjusted members of the family. In this part of our Puppy Playhouse you will learn the beginnings of fundamental obedience and manners skills like sit, down, come, and leash manners. Great attention is paid to house training, curbing nipping, mouthing, jumping, along with socialization and desensitization
BASIC OBEDIENCE LEVEL 1
Learn how to teach all of the basic commands and life skills and how to apply them in your day-to-day life with your dog. We also tackle specific behavioral problems your dog may be experiencing (excessive jumping & barking, inappropriate chewing, sidewalk vacuuming, etc).
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL 2
This course builds on the foundations established in the puppy and basic classes. We focus more on distance, duration and distraction. We take what was previously learned and put it into real life scenarios.

This intermediate level course is all about handling skills, public work and confidence building. We use the environment, proper training tools and positive reinforcement to achieve success in a variety of destination locations.
