Basic Manners I

This class is for dogs age 5months and older and is open to dogs who have either taken a basic manners or puppy kindergarten class previously or who are entirely new to training. Dogs should have no aggressions history and overall get along well with other people and animals.

Depending on the dynamics of class there may also be supervised socialization time for the dogs in class.
