Service Description

PLEASE NOTE: Evidence of up-to-date rabies, distemper, and parvovirus vaccines required prior to the start of class. No exceptions. Basic Manners is a foundation skills class for all dogs 5 months of age and older, whether they have been with you for 2 weeks or 12 years. It is appropriate for older puppies who have completed puppy kindergarten as well as for untrained dogs and dogs in need of a refresher class. The focus is on helping your dog develop skills that make communication and sharing a life together easier, and we work with distractions from day one! Sit and down, recall, a basic stay with distractions, polite leash walking, enrichment techniques and practical tricks, as well as problem solving (jumping and pulling on leash). No prerequisite. This class is intended for non-reactive dogs. If your dog engages in EXCESSIVE barking, lunging, pulling, snarling, or growling while on leash at the sight of people and/or dogs, AND/OR your dog has a bite history with people or other dogs, this is not the appropriate class for your dog. Please contact me at jill@yourbestbehaviorpa.com for other options. After registration, you will receive an email with detailed info about the first day of class and an intake form so I can make sure this is the right class for you and your dog.
