Public Manners (group)
Group Training Course
Details
WHAT This 6-session group course builds on your dog's Foundational Manners training and early socialization to create a calm, neutral dog you can confidently take into public. This class is designed to help owners build advanced obedience skills for real-world situations like walking downtown, relaxing at a beach or picnic, or navigating outdoor adventures such as camping and hiking. Open to dogs over 6 months, the small group setting allows for personalized instruction and support. The program is divided into three skill sets, each taught over two sessions. You'll start with focused practice drills, then apply those skills in public settings. Training includes advanced obedience, focused heel, down-stays, and neutrality to build confident, reliable behavior in any environment.

On sidewalks and roads dogs need to be “up short but slack on the leash”. Handlers need to wear comfortable foot wear and weather appropriate clothing. Please be mindful of how and when you use rewards (not in proximity to other dogs). PLEASE NOTE: Owners and their dogs are participating at their own risk.
