Let’s learn and practice good manners.

The best part of a group class? You’re not in it alone. Minding Our Manners brings together a supportive group of dog lovers, learning and growing side-by-side as we build a solid foundation of real-life skills. Over five fun and interactive weeks, we’ll practice essentials like walking politely on leash, coming when called and listening even when there are distractions.

What’s Covered in Class

Together we will learn and practice how to walk together without pulling, build a reliable recall (coming when called), encourage calm greetings without jumping, and help your dog stay focused even when there are distractions around.

This course is perfect for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds who have their Rabies vaccination and are comfortable on leash around other dogs and humans.

Meet Your Trainer

Nikki is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and the owner of Airdrie Puppy Pals. Nikki’s teaching style is kind and supportive — and she believes that learning should feel encouraging for both human and dog.

Each week in class, Nikki introduces a new skill and helps you gradually add real-life distractions so you and your dog can learn and practice how to succeed beyond the classroom. The course is flexible and tailored to the dogs in class, ensuring every team has the guidance they need to progress at their own pace.
