Basic Manners Group Class

Our Fall 2026 classes are full, but registration is now open for our next Basic Manners class beginning Saturday, February 6 at 10 AM. Classes are kept small and tend to fill quickly, so early registration is recommended.

Want to get started sooner? Our online dog training course lets you begin right away and start building a strong foundation before your in-person class. Please click here for more information.

About the Class

Basic Manners is a fun, practical 5-week course designed to help you build a calmer, better-mannered dog. You'll learn how to communicate clearly with your dog while practicing essential skills around the real-world distraction of other dogs and people. Classes include hands-on instruction, individual help, and simple homework to continue practicing at home.

Open to puppies 4 months and older and adult dogs.

Is Group Class Right for Your Dog?

Dogs must be able to work safely around other dogs and people. Group class is not appropriate for dogs who display aggressive behavior such as biting, snapping, or repeated lunging.

If you're unsure whether your dog is ready for a group setting, please contact me before registering. I'm happy to help you decide whether group or online training would be the better fit.

Cost: $185 for the 5-week course

Your registration includes:

✔️ Five weekly small-group training classes
✔️ Weekly homework and practice assignments
✔️ Access to my interactive Training Troubleshooter
✔️ A properly fitted training collar
✔️ A bag of training treats
