Good Manners for Good Dogs!

Basic Manners for Adult Dogs

Who's a Good Dog?

After the Good Dog! program, both you and your dog will have a foundation of great skills which can be applied to all the different situations, environments and adventures you’ll encounter in your lives together.

Teach your dog these skills at home in your own time, with short training sessions:
  • Sit and stay
  • Down and stay
  • Come when called, even around distractions
  • Leave it-ing
  • Loose leash walking
  • Much more including little daily habit changes that make a big difference to behavior
In this crucial course for pet dogs and their owners, you will learn:
  • How dogs learn - so that when you're teaching them, you can actually understand each other better
  • Important life skills - the manners training that goes beyond the traditional sit and stay. So that you have skills you and your dog can use that you actually need in day to day life
  • Obedience skills - so that when you ask something of your dog, they do it the first time, happily!
  • A better relationship with your dog. And why wouldn't you want that?!
