Advanced Mat Work in K9 Manners Plus

K9 Manners Plus builds on the skills learned in our basic level classes and emphasizes more challenging work with distractions.   K9 Manners Plus emphasizes real life skills and refinement of handling skills including walking your dog on a loose leash.

Ever wish your dog would calm down quickly when the doorbell rings or leave something alone when you drop it on the floor or just stay in one place when you need them to?

Having more influence over your dog’s impulses and responsiveness and teaching them to remain calm in the face of high level distractions can make every day situations less stressful.

Our K9 Manners Plus class can help your dog develop more impulse and emotional self-control in a range of real life situations.  We also cover Tellington TTouch bodywork exercises for reducing arousal and increasing focus.

Classes are filled on a first come, first serve basis. Class size is limited for individualized attention for you and your dog, so don’t wait to register. If you have any questions about class availability or upcoming class dates, please email us.
