Canine Manners with Pia Silvani, CPDT-KA, CBCC
Have you ever wondered why your dog pulls on a leash, jumps up to greet people, and won’t do as you ask? This course will teach you how to communicate with your dog effectively. You will learn the skills necessary to teach your dog basic manners using reward-based training methods. We will build reliable behaviors such as sit, down, stay, wait, come, leave it, tug, and much more!
The class is limited to 8 dogs, 16 weeks old or over when the course begins.
This class will be held over 6 weeks, from 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. on the following dates: February 28, March 7, 14, 21, 28, and April 4 with no scheduled cancellations.
