Dogs and their handlers learn basic obedience behaviors and manners
such as to sit, lie down, settle, stay, come when called, walk without
pulling on leash, to leave things alone, and to pay attention to the
handler. Handlers themselves learn how to painlessly prevent and/or
eliminate undesirable bad habits such as stealing food, jumping on
people, and excessive barking. This fun and enjoyable class requires
a happy untrained dog, a motivated handler who will practice, soft
yummy treats, and a favorite toy. The result of this class is a loving,
cooperative partnership that sets your relationship with your dog
off to a good start and continues for all of his/her lifetime. Real
life training for real life situations!
