Group Manners Classes
Marvelous Manners!
New students start here! Marvelous Manners classes are broken down into 4 different topics. All students should hit up each topic at least once! You can then focus on the topics that you and your pup need the most help with!
The flexible scheduling means there will be different dogs in your classes as you progress. Some teams may be on class number one and learning the basics of a sit and other teams may be working on more advanced concepts in the same class! For more information about our flexible, Class Pass scheduling click here!
The classes are designed to be repeated until you are satisfied with your level of training!
