Does your dog growl or even snap at other dogs while on leash? If so, you probably already know how challenging it can be to work on training - in order to build tolerance towards other dogs, you need to be around them, and this can make the problem worse. That's why the leash reactivity course is so great! You can practice being around other dogs, in a very controlled environment where all the participants are in the same situation.

In our Leash Reactivity class, we use large barriers that keep the dogs hidden from each other until they are brought out for various exercises, usually no more than one or two at a time in the beginning. The exercises are geared towards desensitizing dogs towards each other, such as seeing them from a distance, and from the use of props. By the end of the 6-week course, many of the dogs can pass each other and are much lower on the reactivity scale.

We also give you home exercises, so you can keep practicing in between sessions.

The room is spacious, so the dogs have plenty of room to spread out. The class size is small, so it is not overwhelming to the dogs. In addition, the trainer is highly expererienced in helping dogs with reactivity issues. No dogs are ever allowed off leash during this course.

For young puppies who are fourteen weeks and younger. They will be playing with others who are similar in size, and are just getting used to the concept of group play.

Our Adult Manners dog training course teaches fundamental skills, listening, and self-control across a number of different behaviors. This is important because as your dog gets older, its desire to listen decreases, making daily interaction such as walks more challenging.

The course includes:

• Training skills:  The course teaches skills such as walking without pulling, focusing on you, coming directly to you, waiting patiently before a command is given, not jumping on people, leaving items alone, and more.
• Off-leash socialization:  Each class also includes play time, where the dogs get to run and play with the others off leash. This is important for building their socialization and confidence. The trainer will give you advice about what to allow and watch for during play, and how to correct your dog's behavior in an effective manner.
• Class discussion: A full discussion of important training topics such as:
  
  
  • How and why dogs learn
  • The importance and use of positive reinforcement
  • How many people unintentionally create unwanted behaviors in their dog
  • How to successfully use your voice, posture, body language, and more
  • Corrective techniques that work
  • Training equipment and rewards that we recommend
  • And much more

You will be amazed at what your dog can accomplish in only six weeks!

For young puppies who are fourteen weeks and younger. They will be playing with others who are similar in size, and are just getting used to the concept of group play.

Advanced Manners is the final step in our Manners series. The course builds on the previous level of obedience, but we now focus on 'field work,' where your dog is taught to work at a distance with hand signals. The distractions are more difficult, most of the class is done off-leash, and you your dog will follow your commands through hand gestures only. Wouldn't you love it if your dog listened to you all the time, whether he could see you or not, whether you have a treat or not, if your back is turned, and even if there is no leash attached?

The course includes:

• Training skills:  The course continues to build on foundational behaviors (walking without pulling, staying, and so forth) but adds the challenge of executing behaviors off-leash, and at a distance
• Off-leash socialization:  Each class also includes play time, where the puppies get to run and play with the others off leash. This is important for building their socialization and confidence.

Our Adult Manners dog training course teaches fundamental skills, listening, and self-control across a number of different behaviors. This is important because as your dog gets older, its desire to listen decreases, making daily interaction such as walks more challenging.

The course includes:

• Training skills:  The course teaches skills such as walking without pulling, focusing on you, coming directly to you, waiting patiently before a command is given, not jumping on people, leaving items alone, and more.
• Off-leash socialization:  Each class also includes play time, where the dogs get to run and play with the others off leash. This is important for building their socialization and confidence. The trainer will give you advice about what to allow and watch for during play, and how to correct your dog's behavior in an effective manner.

Does your dog growl or even snap at other dogs while on leash? If so, you probably already know how challenging it can be to work on training - in order to build tolerance towards other dogs, you need to be around them, and this can make the problem worse. That's why the leash reactivity course is so great! You can practice being around other dogs, in a very controlled environment where all the participants are in the same situation.

In our Leash Reactivity class, we use large barriers that keep the dogs hidden from each other until they are brought out for various exercises, usually no more than one or two at a time in the beginning. The exercises are geared towards desensitizing dogs towards each other, such as seeing them from a distance, and from the use of props. By the end of the 6-week course, many of the dogs can pass each other and are much lower on the reactivity scale.

We also give you home exercises, so you can keep practicing in between sessions.

The room is spacious, so the dogs have plenty of room to spread out. The class size is small, so it is not overwhelming to the dogs. In addition, the trainer is highly expererienced in helping dogs with reactivity issues. No dogs are ever allowed off leash during this course.

If you have taken our Puppy or Adult Manners course, this is the perfect next step in order to help your dog reach its potential.

Now that your dog knows the basics, it's time to make all of the exercises much more challenging. We add the three D's (distance, duration and distractions) plus introduce some new commands in order help your dog build and keep its focus. The goal continues to be for your dog to do what you say the first time, without repeating yourself.

By the end of the course, your dog should be able to excel at many foundational behaviors, even under highly challenging circumstances.

The course includes:

• Off-leash socialization, including advice about correcting unwanted behavior
• All of the exercises listed below
• The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification if your dog passes the 10-step test in the final class

Skills and exercises include:

• Remain calim while you greet another person
• Maintain focus on you even when passing other dogs and people
• Leave things alone unless given permission (even really tempting things, like a pile of treats)
• Go to a place, such as a mat or crate
• Stay for a long period of time, even from a distance, with your back turned, and you completely walking away
• Automatically go to your side when coming to you
• Walk next to you politely (even without a leash), including through a crowd of people and past noisy distractions
• Come to you from a highly distracting activity
• Accept handling of paws and ears, and accept being brushed by another person
• Stay calm while you leave the room for a long duration

Don't just stop at one Manners course and think you're finished - take the next step and enroll in Intermediate Manners so your dog can continue to improve and learn crucial lifelong skills.

Advanced Manners is the final step in our Manners series. The course builds on the previous level of obedience, but we now focus on 'field work,' where your dog is taught to work at a distance with hand signals. The distractions are more difficult, most of the class is done off-leash, and you your dog will follow your commands through hand gestures only. Wouldn't you love it if your dog listened to you all the time, whether he could see you or not, whether you have a treat or not, if your back is turned, and even if there is no leash attached?

The course includes:

• Training skills:  The course continues to build on foundational behaviors (walking without pulling, staying, and so forth) but adds the challenge of executing behaviors off-leash, and at a distance
• Off-leash socialization:  Each class also includes play time, where the puppies get to run and play with the others off leash. This is important for building their socialization and confidence. The trainer will give you advice about what to allow and watch for during play, and how to correct your puppy's behavior in an effective manner.
