Everyday Manners Group Classes:

 
Puppy Preschool

This class teaches your puppy how to learn by taking advantage of the formative period of your dog's life - the crucial first few months. You will learn how to teach your pup foundations skills for walking nicely on a leash, coming when called, and acting in a mannerly fashion at the vet's or groomer's. You will also learn valuable problem solving skills to help you deal with unwanted puppy behaviors such as mouthing, chewing, housebreaking, etc.

-- 16 weeks and under - four 1-hour sessions - $100

Everyday Manners

The Everyday Manners program involves a real-life approach to dog training. Your dog will learn Attention, Coming When Called, Walking on Leash, and Manners (Greeting Behavior, Wait at Doorways, and more). Each topic is covered every session, using a different approach each time, so your dog will be reliable in these all-important behaviors. Small class sizes make this an effective, yet low-cost way to train your dog.

-- 16 weeks and older - four 1-hour sessions - $100

Everyday Manners Package:       Three 1-hour sessions       $125

In the Everyday Manners Package, we will cover basic manners: pay attention, polite greeting behavior, come when called, walk on leash, wait at doorways, and other behaviors that will help make your dog a great household companion.   This special package is prepaid; the fee is due on the first session.   So as not to loose momentum, the three sessions must be completed within a six-week period.

 

Everyday Manners: Single 90-minute Session  $60

Choose this option for help with two or three basic behaviors, or use it for one of these pre-structured sessions:

The Everyday Puppy Workshop is for dogs 6 months old and younger.  We will cover puppy problem solving such as chewing, mouthing, and potty training, and will introduce puppy-appropriate versions of paying attention, coming when called, and walking politely on leash.

Is there a new dog in your home?  The New Dog Workshop will help you and your new addition get started right.  Your family will learn how to set and implement house rules, understand and overcome typical stress-related relocation problems, and teach the dog basic household manners.  This program is perfect for rescue dogs!

Teach Your Dog Self-Control

Take A Break!   Learn how to teach your dog self-control in exciting situations.  This workshop covers getting (and keeping!) your dog's attention, proper greeting behavior, management, and how to settle down on cue. Also includes simple management techniques for immediate control.

The Kids and Dogs Workshop is designed to help you teach your dog and your children to play happily and safely together. The workshop includes teaching appropriate play, managing child/dog interaction, granting your child leadership status in the 'pack', and safety issues.

This is a private and fun introduction to agility!  Backyard Agility is a great way to teach your dog off-leash control, and is very useful to help fearful or timid dogs become more self-confident.  We will use a combination of portable agility equipment and agility-type obstacles that you can create from household objects.  Invite a friend and split the cost!  Group Backyard Agility classes will return soon!

You've seen it on Pet Star and YouTube, you've read about it in local newspapers and national magazines. What is Canine Musical Freestyle all about?  Freestyle is the newest canine sport, and is rapidly gaining world-wide popularity. It is obedience and tricks set to music, and often called Dancing With Your Dog, but don't let that scare you! Dancing ability is not a requirement for you or your dog. This sport highlights the dog/human partnership - it teaches dogs to respond to cues even in a highly distracting environment, and owners learn advanced training techniques that can be applied to any behavior.

NOTE: In-home training is available in Enumclaw, Buckley, and Bonney Lake.  Additional fees may apply for training visits outside the posted areas.

Behavior Modification

The Behavior Modification Program is useful for more serious problems such as aggression, resource guarding, fighting household dogs, separation anxiety, and reactive or fearful dogs.

This 2-visit program consists of an initial 90-minute session in your home, followed by a second 60-minute visit 1 to 3 weeks later.  Prior to the first visit, you will be asked to fill out and return a Behavior History Form so that a treatment plan can be formulated.   Cost for this 2-session program is $175, payable on or before the first visit.

NOTE: Additional fees may apply for out-of-area visits.

For other Behavior Modification options, or for a behavior professional outside the East Pierce/South King County area, please visit Companion Animal Behavior Connection.
