Family Manners Level One

For a dog to get along happily in a family home, it is essential that they understand the family's rules and boundaries.  It is about understanding that to live with people we expect our dog to have some manners, and that it will be beneficial to the dog to behave in a respectful way.  We don't have to force our dogs to be well behaved, all we need to do is understand how reinforcement works, and how to apply it to our daily activities.

Family Manners is a Basic Obedience course especially tailored for pet dogs,  pet dog owners aren't aiming to have obedience champions, but are wanting a reliable dog that listens to them and behaves well, and who's training means that they can prevent their dog getting injured in an emergency.  Level on introduces you and your dog to behaviours that you want to see from your dog, while keeping their personality and spirit alive.

If your dog is under 12 months, why not take a look at our range of puppy classes.  If you are a graduate of Doggy Dogma Family Manners Level One take a look at Family Manners Level Two – this one is for you.
