STEP ONE
To start any educational endeavor can be intimidating..
We make it an adventure!
That’s why our Step One Course is designed to get you off to the right start. Learn how to hold the leash, decipher body language, implement canine management and lay the foundations for effective communication with your dog. We will also offer tips on problem solving for common household concerns like chewing, waste basket raiding, playing keep away and “catch me if you can”.
All students begin in Step One, even if they’ve had prior training. Students who have had prior experience will most likely move up to Step Two quickly.
