Basic Manners for Young Dogs (Session I)

New dog? No manners? Then this class is for you. Als Allan will teach this course on basic obedience for a confident and happy canine companion including: attention, polite greetings, sit, down, stay, come when called, loose leash walking and impulse control.

Als is a student of the Victoria Stilwell Dog Training Academy and lifelong dog lover. Victoria Stilwell was the star of Animal Planet's "It's Me or the Dog" and is a leading advocate for positive reinforcement based training. Als's classes use the same positive reinforcement methods and are strictly aversive free.  Positive reinforcement training methods focus on building a strong but compassionate bond between person and dog.

Positive training takes into account each individual dog's cognitive, physical and emotional strengths and aims to set the dog up for success. Rather than fearing training sessions, positive reinforcement based training is fun for both person and dog!

This is a four-session class, held on Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30 p.m.
