Basic Manners Group Training Class
Basic canine manners are a must in a world where dogs are part of the family. Our class teaches your dog the basics of living with and among humans with grace and charm. Using real-life scenarios, your dog will practice polite sits for greeting guests and strangers; down stays so you can get some email answered, cook dinner, or enjoy a visit from a friend; walking nicely on leash, coming when called, and leave it for neighborhood pee trips and bigger outings, and how to make new dog friends.

Canine Good Citizen Group Training Class
A CGC certificate can open a lot of doors. Many landlords require it for renting with a dog, and many workplaces do the same for permission to bring your dog to work. Plus you get bragging rights and a very polite dog. We’ll get you and your dog ready to take the Canine Good Citizenship exam, which includes sitting to greet strangers, polite leash behavior with other dogs, out-of-sight stays, rock-solid recalls, and more.

If you’ve got a calm, ultra-friendly dog who loves to be the center of petting attention, you may have a therapy dog.

We can’t think of a better way to spend time with your dog.
