Obedience & Manners Training
Calm, reliable manners at home and in public — on leash first, then off leash when your dog is ready.
What we work on
- Leash manners and polite walking
- Sit, down, place, and stay
- Reliable recall (come when called)
- Doorway and greeting manners
- Proofing around distractions
Private lessons are tailored to your dog and schedule. We teach you the same cues we use so progress sticks at home.
For aggression or strong reactivity, see Behavior & Aggression.

Common Questions
On leash and off leash?
Yes. We build on-leash reliability first, then expand off leash when it’s safe.
Can I join a group class instead?
Many dogs start with group classes. See the class calendar.
How long until manners improve?
Often within a few weeks if you practice between lessons.
