Our Puppy Manners training class is very important for ensuring that your puppy develops crucial skills, listening, and self-control. You will thank yourself later, because when a puppy develops a strong foundation, it can make all the difference in your relationship for many years to come.
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
- Dropping an item
- Handling feet and ears

- 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. If you do not feel comfortable with off-leash play, it is fine to temporarily wait outside the room during this time.

Manners Class Graduation Day (2:21)
We completed a few puppy training courses with our first dog Dreidel back in 2007, and were very happy with what we (and Dre) learned. Flash forward to our new puppy Basil in 2019, new trainer (David), and same great results. Basil was having a tough time with "down" and David worked with her and gave us some great tips to help her master the skill at home. We will definitely be back for the next level!
