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!
The classes are designed to be repeated until you are satisfied with your level of training! We will continue to make things harder for you as you gain more skills!
When you first sign up for a new class the system will prompt you to purchase a Class Pass. That Pass is good for 7 classes to be completed within 9 weeks of purchase. You can sign up for any group class on the calendar with your Pass. 1 credit = 1 class!

Life Skills Classes
These classes, like Marvelous Manners, are broken down into different topics and can be repeated as many times as it takes to be comfortable with the material!
Teams taking these classes should have a handle on the basics already. Generally after completing 6-8 Marvelous Manners most teams would be able to advance! Public Spaces may require more training – ask your instructor if you are unsure if you are ready for any of these classes!
The Life Skills classes do not run as frequently as the Marvelous Manners classes so we do recommend taking both concurrently to build the strongest skillset! Even advanced teams will benefit from the Marvelous Manners classes working aroudn the different pups!
