Household Manners and Canine Good Citizen Class
Household Manners and Canine Good Citizen Teach your dog to be well mannered! Does your dog take you for a walk? Does he “resource guard” his food/treats/toys and bones? Does he bark excessively? Does your dog bolt through doors, pull on the leash, embarrass you at the vet's office, and/or jump on people? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this is the class for you and your unruly dog! The class will teach you leadership exercises and instruct you on how to teach your dog manners and good behavior. The lessons include teaching your dog to sit, down, stay, come when called, greeting people (sit to greet), greeting other dogs and walking nicely on leash. Wouldn’t you love your dog to know these things? This is a six-week course. All family and household members are encouraged to come to this class. The class also works on the ten exercises given in the AKC's Canine Good Citizenship Test and the test is given on the last night of class. Different games are played to reinforce the exercises.
