- To come when called so you can enjoy more freedom and confidence together
- Polite manners around people, including greeting without jumping up
- How to relax and settle when needed, whether at home or out and about
- Walking together on a loose leash without pulling
- Patience and self-control around food, toys, and other everyday temptations
- How to stay focused and responsive in new environments
- How to take treats and toys gently
- Practical skills that make everyday activities such as walks, visits with friends, and trips to pet-friendly places more enjoyable
- Simple, effective training techniques that you can continue to use at home as your dog grows and learns
Training takes place in a positive, supportive group environment where dogs learn to work around mild distractions and build confidence. These real-world experiences help create dogs that are easier to live with and owners who feel more confident handling them in everyday situations.
