***There are no makeups or credits available for these classes due to our limits on the number of students I take. Please check all of your class dates to be sure you can attend.***

Vaccinations:

Shot records are required at least 7 days prior to class start date.

All Dogs: Please have your dog’s shot records with you on the first day of class or mail them to us prior to the start of class.

Puppies: Must have their second series of vaccines and if your vet agrees, we would prefer that your puppy has a Bordetella vaccine prior to class -- the Bordetella vaccine is optional and the decision is up to your vet. Some vets like to give the Bordatella vaccine to pups AFTER 16 weeks of age. If your puppy has not had the second series of shots, you may still come to class without your puppy. As soon as your puppy receives the second series of shots, you may bring your puppy to class.

Dogs over 5 months: Must have complete vaccination records at least 1 week prior to the first day of class.

Having current vaccinations for your dog will help protect your dog but does not guarantee immunity from all illnesses s/he may encounter.

Class Descriptions:

The Well-Mannered TOY BREED Puppy Jump-Start!

This is a 5-week, 1-hour class.

Limited to 5 puppy teams -- 8 - 20 weeks of age. Feel free to bring your family members over 6 years of age.

Puppies need a great head-start to become great dogs! Socialization in a safe, controlled environment is crucial in helping your puppy acclimate to the world around him. Games for greeting politely, coming when called, appropriate play with other pups. We'll help you with housetraining and crate training, handling your puppy and teach you both how to connect with one another. Learn how to set yourselves and your puppies up for a lifetime of success.

Pups must have at least 2 sets of vaccinations and have been in your home for at least 1 week.

The Well-Mannered ALL BREED Puppy Jump-Start!

This is a 5-week, 1-hour class.

Limited to 5 puppy teams -- 8 - 16 weeks of age, but bring your family members over 6 years of age!

Pups must have at least 2 sets of vaccinations and have been in your home for at least 1 week.

The Well-Mannered Dog: Household Manners Level 1

This is a 5-week, 1-hour class.

Limited to 5 dog/handler teams 4 months and older.

Come and have fun teaching your dog how to Meet and Greet politely, Lie Down, Stay where you put him, Off (humans, counters and furniture), and Go To Your Bed to relax awhile. We'll work on focus, basics of not pulling on the leash, and taking your relationship to the next level. This foundation work will help you and your dog become a team you can be proud of. This is the work you'll need to easily incorporate your companion into the household.

*No aggressive dogs.

The Well-Mannered Dog: Household Manners Level 2

This is a 5-week, 1-hour class.

Limited to 6 dog/handler teams ** Must have completed HHM Level 1**

This class is geared towards focus and attention, while working your Level 1 accomplishments amid life's distractions. If you want to have control and connection in real life, this is the next class for you.

Walking Your Well-Mannered Dog Level 1

This is a 1-day, 3-hour class for walking skills only.

Limited to 5 dog/handler teams.... but bring your family members over 8 years of age!

Walking your dog on a loose lead is what we all strive for, right? No pulling, sniffing, dragging behind or cutting in front of you would be lovely. But did you know that dogs have to be taught to hold a position next to you while walking? Pulling them back, holding them back, none of it works. This is a skill you both need to learn and practice. First we'll make sure you are using the proper equipment (available here to try out), then we get moving. Games and exercises to help make your walks enjoyable for both of you!

You will need to bring or purchase a 4' leash with a medium clip. Our preference is leather, as it gets nice and soft the more you use it. Handlers with nylon leads and heavy clips will be asked to change to a leash that is more comfortable for walking.

*No aggressive dogs, please.
