Polite in Public Dog Training

Leadership is the basis for our training concepts.  We empower dog owners with the skills necessary to lead their dog, encourage proper behavior and discourage unwanted behavior.  With new leadership skills, dog owners can confidently venture out with their dog without being embarrassed by leash pulling, and barking at others.  With leadership training, owners apply the concepts themselves and build the bond with their own dog to last a lifetime.

​A private lesson gives dog owners our undivided attention to work on the goals they have set for their dogs. Group lessons then test the owners new skills around distractions of other dogs, people, and environmental noises of walking paths, parks, shopping areas, or busy downtown. Owners must be proficient with leash guidance before attending group lessons.  Certain behaviors of jumping, defensive or aggressive tendencies are not addressed in this course.

Our All Inclusive Advanced Manners course addresses jumping, digging, and counter surfing.  

Our Aggressive Behavior Refinement course is required for dangerous behavior.​
