​
Group classes are not appropriate for dogs who have reactivity to people or other dogs. In many cases where reactivity is minimal, it can be successfully managed with special arrangements. If you aren't sure if your dog is a good candidate for group classes, please don't hesitate to reach out to me! If you have a reactive dog, don't worry, there are other options!​​
​
Manners Class
Manners classes run once a week for 6 weeks and are held either in Tyrone or in Sharpsburg. You will receive detailed home practice lessons and training tips that typically require no more than 15 minutes a day to see progress. To participate, dogs should not be exhibiting aggression towards other dogs or people. If you aren't sure, we can discuss prior to enrollment.​
