MANNERS (OBEDIENCE)
Your dog will learn
  • that listening to and engaging with you is fun.
  • to control his own behavior voluntarily so you don't have to keep reminding him.
  • to adapt to your human expectations.
You will learn: 
  • how to "listen" to your dog.
  • how to get the behaviors you want without any force or intimidation (accidental or not).
  • how to set yourself and your dog up for success so you both can avoid frustration.
  • how to use positive reinforcement the RIGHT WAY (so you don't have to rely on bribes to get results.)
  • how to utilize your dog's instincts and drives to your advantage.

  • and so much more!
