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.

We’ll go over all of your skills, put the 3 D’s to the test, and make sure you know how to troubleshoot in “real life” – through lots of fun and games.
