Description:

Whether you have had your dog for a while or are training for the first time, this class is designed to help give you the fundamental tools and techniques to build the strongest bond possible with your dog! I will help you to understand your dog's behavior and build confidence in both of you to navigate through life together as a team.

We cover sit, down, stand, stay, settle, polite greetings, recall, loose leash walking. Classes also include problem-solving, working through distractions, hand signals, distance control and dog training theory. You can use these behaviors on walks, at home or anywhere you go! By strengthening and refining these essential foundation behaviors through positive reward-based training, you'll be able to establish clear communication, improve your dog's behavior and create a great relationship with your dog.

**Please note dogs that are very reactive (barking continuously and unable to settle) to other dogs or people may not be a good fit for the class. When dogs are stressed they do not learn well and it can be frustrating for the owner as well. If you feel this is your situation, we can talk and see what alternatives are available to you"**
