Basic Manners
Good manners start here—no matter your dog’s age or stage. Whether you’re starting fresh with a young puppy or working through challenges with an older dog, our Basic Manners programs focus on real-life skills that make everyday living easier. Using positive reinforcement and clear communication, we’ll help your dog build polite, reliable behaviors you can count on at home and out in the world.
Puppy Pre-K

This program is designed to last a minimum of 6 sessions. To support steady progress, sessions are recommended on a weekly or every-other-week basis, as scheduling allows.
What’s included?
Custom training plan designed around the course outline to support you and your dog’s individual learning styles and abilities.

Grade School Manners
For Puppies and Dogs 8 months and older

This class helps guide adolescent dogs toward reliable, everyday manners and requires prior foundational training to ensure success.
This program is designed to last a minimum of 4 sessions. To support steady progress, sessions are recommended on a weekly or every-other-week basis, as scheduling allows.

Ready to take training to the next level?

How to get started
Getting started is simple. New clients are required to complete a free 15-minute phone consultation prior to scheduling any training services so I can learn more about your goals, your dog, and determine the best program fit. Returning clients may reach out directly via email to purchase their next training program and continue building on their progress.
All dogs and puppies must be up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, with rabies required after 16 weeks of age.
Pay-as-you-go options are available by request for each program; however, please note these sessions do not include the full structure, resources, and ongoing support provided in package offerings, making them a less comprehensive option.
Travel fees may apply for in-home sessions outside of the designated service area.
Please note that these programs are designed for foundational through advanced manners training and do not address reactivity, aggression, or other complex behavioral issues; clients needing support in those areas will be directed to appropriate behavior modification programs.
