Teaching your dog fundamental skills such as sit, down, look at that, recall, leave it, stay, and wait is a fun and powerful way to help form a strong bond between you and your new best friend.
Join our trainer, Emma Bourne, for a six-week basic family manners course. In this course you will learn how to train your dog using force-free methods, relying primarily on positive reinforcement of desired behaviors.
We offer classes on Saturday mornings beginning at 8:30 AM.
