For dogs 4 months and older; first class is orientation without your  dog.Real world manners and obedience offers you all the essentials to  get your training started on the right paw with your dog! Utilizing the  lure-and-reward method, you and your dog will learn how to apply  behaviors such as sit, down, wait/stay, leave it, focus/watch, go to  your mat, and loose leash walking. Real life set-ups like a café  environment; a comfy living room; guests knocking on the door; or a  veterinary clinic waiting room, will give you the tools to respond when  you’re out there in the real world with your dog. Recognize how to  prevent and manage behaviors such as, jumping up on guests, leash  reactivity, destructive chewing, counter surfing, and excessive barking  to name a few. Learn what motivates your dog and how to use it to train  for the behaviors you want. This fun, on-leash class is for dogs with no  previous training experience or for dogs needing a real world manners  refresher. Pet guardians must show proof of current vaccinations prior  to the first class.
