Whether your dog is brand new to training or just needs a refresher, this class is all about teaching the basics in a way that actually makes sense — for both of you!
We’ll cover essential skills like sit, down, stay, come, loose leash walking, and polite greetings — the kind of things that make daily life easier (and less barky). Think of it as a crash course in communication: you’ll learn how to better understand your dog, and your dog will learn that listening pays off (usually in the form of treats).
This class is perfect for friendly dogs over 9 months old, no prior experience needed. We keep it positive, practical, and judgment-free — because let’s be honest, we’ve all had that “my dog just embarrassed me in public” moment.
What to bring:
Your dog (vaccinated and ready to learn)
A few favorite treats (small and soft work best)
A flat collar and leash (no retractables, please!)
A willingness to learn together and have some fun
Let’s teach your dog the kind of manners that make both of you proud
We have a Sit Happens! Class starting 9/6 @ 3pm with just a couple spots available.
