Elementary Manners
consists of one
hour long orientation,
and five one hour
group classes.

Week 1: Orientation

Leave your dog at home for this week!
Learn a little about us, our class, and positive reinforcement training. After attending, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running on Week 2!

Weeks 2 – 6: Learn With Your Dog!

Bring your dog for five weeks of flexible, fun,
fit your life training.

This winter, Elementary Manners takes on a new format!

Instead of running as a rolling enrollment class, we will be meeting for a traditional 6 week class, where each week’s lessons builds directly on the week before.

We believe in progress over perfection, and every dog has the ability to make great progress. Remember – training doesn’t end after 6 weeks, but we will give you the knowledge and tools you need to continue to help your dog thrive after class ends.
