Minding our Manners
Helping you and your Puppy Pal build real life skills through calm, consistent practice, positive reinforcement, and teamwork.
Build Everyday Skills That Stick
Minding Our Manners is a five week course designed to help dogs of all ages build real life skills through positive, relationship-based training. Whether you are just getting started or brushing up on the basics, this class will help strengthen communication, trust, and teamwork between you and your dog.
With a small group of just four to six dogs, each class gives you plenty of guided support and practice time. Dogs must be comfortable working around other dogs and people in a group setting. This class is not suitable for dogs who are fearful or reactive, if that sounds like your pup, we are happy to talk about private training options that may be a better fit.
What You Will Learn
Each week, we focus on building practical, everyday skills like:
Loose leash walking
Coming when called
Settling in busy environments
Greeting people politely
Staying focused around distractions like food, dogs, and people
Every class includes instructor-led teaching, hands-on practice, and simple games to help you keep learning at home between sessions. All training is based on positive reinforcement and focused on building lasting habits in a fun, supportive environment.
