2-hour class - $35 per family

This class is for owners only - dogs stay home.

Does your dog ~
Grab things, show them to you and then RUN with them?
Bark AT you to be fed, played with, or for attention?
Question the rules - is sometimes selectively deaf?
Is your dog a space invader - using you and visitors as a jungle gym?
Bark at visitors? Control the neighborhood?

Adolescence starts at sexual maturity in dogs as with humans. A 5-6 month old pup is like a 7th grader, beginning to have a sense of self and independence. He has opinions. He complains about the rules and sometimes talks back. By 7-9 months he is like a 16 year old, wanting a later curfew and the car keys. Your human kid will take several years to get through this stage of life; your dog will go through it in a matter of months. It only seems like an eternity! If the bossy young dog doesn't learn to follow the leader, it can become a problem adult dog.
