A good start on good manners is making sure your dog listens to you and can follow some basic commands: sit, down, stay, come, etc. DRAMA DOG teaches by making your dog discover that obeying is the key to getting what he/she wanted all along! |
No Free Lunch
A dog will learn the habit of obedience and retain it throughout life if he/she isn’t just showered with everything he/she wants every day – all the time. In other words, WORK comes before a PAYCHECK! This stimulates the dog’s mind and mirrors the natural world where the dog’s ancestors had to hunt and search out food and other needs/wants.
Group Lessons
Obedience classes teach key commands and work on some common behavior problems in a session with other dogs and their owners. Each 6-week class meets the same day/time for 6 consecutive weeks. A printed homework handout helps you practice between sessions. (See Calendar of Events below for scheduled class dates.)
