Basic Manners
Looking for a basic obedience group dog training class? We offer “Basic Manners” for young dogs – a foundation dog training course for dogs 20 weeks of age and older. No aggressive, reactive, or overly fearful dogs. No females in heat.

Proof of vaccinations (Distemper, Parvovirus, DHPP, Rabies) will be required before attending the class.

Life Skills for the Family Dog
Modern dog training is all about helping you raise the dog of your dreams. It is less about old-fashioned obedience “commands” and more about raising a dog that fits in with your family. We understand that life is busy and that’s why we’re the only dog training school in Rutland, Vermont to offer a flexible real-life topics curriculum. Join our Life Skills levels program and focus on the behaviors that are issues for your dog.
Life Skills – our levels program runs alongside the Basic Manners curriculum but offers students the opportunity to concentrate on individual topics such as loose leash walking, coming when called, and polite greetings. Once you’ve completed a foundation course (Puppy Start Right and/or Basic Manners), a “Levels” 4-session passport allows you to build the skills you want, as far as you want and when you want.
