Back to Manners Classes Overview
Our Adult Manners Small Breeds 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.
All of the dogs in the class must be 15 pounds or less, and six months or older. This is great for small dogs who may be a little intimidated by playing with larger dogs.
The course includes:

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. If you do not feel comfortable with off-leash play, it is fine to temporarily wait outside the room during this time.
- Access to TrainTrack™. Our proprietary online tool for supplementing your training instruction, that includes:
- Videos of all the exercises taught in class

Re-Watch Training Exercises on Your Device
Tucker Pup's offers a proprietary online system called TrainTrack™ that revolutionizes the way dogs are trained.
The trainer will show you the exercises in person, then you can access TrainTrack to see the homework and other helpful information. Many exercises include videos, and all of them include instructions. It also includes handouts and a documentation of what you covered. This is incredibly helpful because there is a lot of information to take in, and it can be hard to remember everything that was demonstrated and discussed.
In addition, you can log your progress on TrainTrack as you are working on your home exercises. This can be invaluable for ensuring that you spend enough time, in various settings, for your dog to learn the methods thoroughly.
For private lessons, you can even upload videos to your trainer, and they can watch them in between sessions to help provide advice.
TrainTrack works on any Internet-connected device, so you can use it on your mobile phone, even when you're on a walk or working outdoors.
TrainTrack is used for all of our training services, including private lessons and classes.
