These courses cover the skills necessary for your dog companion and trusted member of the community. Each manners course will cover three types of goals:
Communication Goals: You will learn how to improve communication between you and your dog. You will learn how to incorporate games and teach your dog that learning can be fun.
Obedience Goals: Your dog will learn a variety of obedience behaviors specific to each course.
Life Skill Goals: You will learn a series of management tools that you will be able to use when you and your dog are confronted by unexpected situations, as well as those situations that you expect … but dread.
