Does my Dog need Basic Obedience Training?
Yes.
All dogs can be good dogs and all dogs need training! The sooner you start, the better as it gives you the chance to prevent unwanted behaviors.
But, it’s never too late to “teach an old dog new tricks!” If your dog is pulling on leash, hyper when around other dogs and basically ignores you when out and about, this course will turn his behavior around, so that you can enjoy taking him outside.
Who can join Life Skills?

What will we learn in Life Skills?
Calm Down
Being out is exciting, but there is no need to vocalize (=bark) at everything.
Pay Attention
Hello!?!? It's me, your mom (dad) talking to you! You also should listen to me if I don't have any treats with me.
stay
Lay down calmly and wait until it is your turn.
Wait
Wait calmly by my side while I am doing something.
Come when called
No matter what's going on in the park. When I call you, you should come immediately.
No Pulling
You will get to sniff and explore, but I like for my shoulder to stay in it's socket.
Sit & Down
Sit is the most commonly taught and reinforced behavior! Down is slightly behind.
To my Pup:
I really enjoy spending time with you! I love taking you places, too. But there are a few fundamental rules that we need to set, so we can safely enjoy our quality time together.
