basic level obedience commands learned in the previous class.

People Training for Dogs
Does your dog take YOU for a walk? Run away when you call him? Grab from the table of counters? This course is designed to help you become a more effective dog owner and to help you recognize and control your dog's behavior problems before they become unmanageable.

Using only the most effective, and up-to-date methods, we'll help you understand your dog's behavior, what triggers it and how to control it. You will see improvement immediately following the first session and thereafter in working with your dog for only 30 minutes per day.
Note: If your dog is reactive/vocal towards people and/or dogs, please contact us for other training options. ​
