K9 Course-Real Life Manners
Six sessions spread out over a three-month period; each session is one hour in length. One-on-one training done in the privacy of your home to help the whole family understand, communicate, and interact with their dog to achieve real life manners that every dog needs. These manners include, but are not limited to, sit, stay, down, come, walking on leash, not running out the front door, appropriate behavior when company comes over, appropriate behavior during dinner, dealing with jumping, and more. Real-life manners are specific to each individual household, so each course is modified to your specific needs.
