This 2 hour workshop will teach you the basics of how to train your dog!

You will learn:

How to create a language that you and your dog can understand

How to set up your home and your schedule for successful training

Why we use the methods we teach (science!)

Three methods of training

How to begin training: come, sit, how to greet a human, walking on a leash, and more!

You will also learn many bonus tips and psychological principles as topics arise.

Each student will have one-on-one feedback and practice with the instructor and there will be time for questions.

What to bring:

A hungry dog (don't feed breakfast, or feed only a small portion if you are up early)

A regular flat collar

A 6 foot leash

Your dog's crate if possible and a blanket or bed

Something delicious for your dog to chew on (Ideally something that will last at least 30 minutes)

LOTS of treats of varying value (your dog's regular kibble can be one of them!)

A way to carry the treats hands-free (treat pouch, pocket, fanny pack, etc.)

A way to take notes - you will also receive a class summary

A water bottle and/or snack since we will be working for 2 hours!
