For those dogs who have not learned how to relax and stay by your side
Polite Manners
Imagine the joy of a peaceful home, where your dog is not only calm and happy but also brings you comfort and pride. Think about strolling through your neighborhood or relaxing at your favorite restaurants, feeling confident that your well-mannered companion is by your side. With the right guidance, this can be your reality—an easier, more enjoyable life together, filled with happy moments and less stress.
Our Polite Manners programs are designed to make life easier for both you and your dog, no matter their age or background. Whether you have an older puppy (16 weeks and up), an adolescent, a senior canine, or a newly adopted dog, we’ll help your furry friend learn essential cues and behaviors. Imagine how much smoother your days will be when your dog fits seamlessly into your routines—let us help you create the harmony and happiness every family deserves!
What would you be able to do if your dog focused on you when asked?
What if they offer a “sit” when you go to a restaurant, park, or business?
Even better, what if they learned to wait for release (“stay”) from a down and sit at doorways, intersections, etc.?
What if your dog were able to happily engage with you and other family members without fear, anxiety, or stress, greet other dogs and humans politely inside and outside the home, and release an item to the floor or your hands when directed to “drop it”
Imagine your dog relaxing calmly in a crate, or returning to a “place” like a mat when cued!
We can train your dog to walk beside you with a loose leash without pulling you and eagerly return to you when called! We’ve helped hundreds of family dogs learn these behaviors and make their owners proud!
. . .
Finally, depending on which program you choose, you will:
Learn how to respond should your dog pull or lunge forward
Learn how to walk your dog without tightening the leash
Have the tools and the knowledge to continue to practice your new skills and generalize them to different environments
Communicate more clearly with your dog to improve your relationship
Look forward to your walks together
Have fun with your dog!
