Basic Manners
Looking for a basic obedience group dog training class? We offer “Basic Manners” for young dogs – a foundation obedience group dog training class for dogs 20 weeks of age and older. No aggressive, reactive, or overly fearful dogs. No females in heat.
This 6-session group dog training class is intended for new dog parents who have not attended a dog training school before. It’s a beginner course that will introduce clicker or marker training, basic training principles, and a focus on core obedience/manners. This class is designed to help you solve your canine challenges in a fun and engaging way. The first session is a 40-minute private session that you will schedule at the time of registration. Proof of vaccinations (Distemper, Parvovirus, DHPP, Rabies) will be required before attending the class.
Our next class will begin in January 2025. Please use the button below to express your interest in this course.
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.
