Affordable Basic Manners Dog Training Classes

The Basic Manners Dog Training Class is a 6-week course aimed at fostering a productive relationship between you and your dog. In this class, both of you will learn essential commands such as ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, and effective leash walking.

Moreover, the course provides valuable insights into understanding your dog’s motivations and communicative signals. You’ll discover how to communicate effectively with your pet in a way they understand and learn to interpret their signals to fulfill their needs.

In our dog training classes, we acknowledge the importance of both ends of the leash. We invite you to join us and learn how to form an efficient and cooperative team with your dog.

Insider Tip: Through partnerships with rescue groups and shelters, we are able to offer scholarships. If you are associated with a rescue group or shelter and are interested in collaborating with us, please visit our Free Admission for Rescue Groups page.

Who Can Attend Dog Training Class?

Do you have more than one dog? Please ensure each one is registered separately, and plan for each dog to have a separate adult handler to guide them throughout the class.

Please note that this class is designed for non-aggressive dogs. If your dog has displayed any signs of aggression, we kindly request that you inform us in advance.

While we appreciate the enthusiasm of young animal lovers, we request only children aged 12 years and older to attend the classes. For children aged 11 and under, we kindly ask that they stay at home for these sessions.
