Good Manners Training

Sundogs good manners trainingStart on the right path to a well-mannered dog. Training improves communication between you and your dog, strengthens your bond, and improves the odds of having a well-loved member of your family for life. Affordable, private sessions in your home provide one on one attention with a customized training program based on your goals and the needs of you and your dog. The focus is on teaching foundation behaviors such as attention, sit, down, stay, come, leave it, wait, targeting, polite greetings, and loose-leash walking.

Did you know the number one reason dogs are surrendered or euthanized is because of behavior problems? And the most common problem behaviors often stem from boredom or the dog simply hasn’t been taught how to live with humans. Dogs are very good at being dogs and they do what works for them. It is not fair to expect your dog to know how to act like a human or understand the rules we live by without being shown. The Sundogs Basic Good Manners course is the best way for you to to learn how to do this.

  • Learn how to manage and prevent common problems like jumping up, biting/mouthing, chewing, digging, barking, pulling on leash.
  • Learn how to teach your dog good house and life rules and how to socialize and train them positively and effectively.
  • Learn how to play well with your dogs and how to keep them happy and healthy to prevent boredom.
  • A well-trained dog is a joy to live and travel with.
