Good Manners 2
Once you go through Good Manners 1, it is strongly recommended that you keep on keeping on. Good Manners 2 is meant to build on the foundation that you have learned, but taking your dog's performance to the next level in terms of distractions, duration, and variations. It also adds some new commands such as heeling, plus bonding games.

This class will address the following:
  • Review the basic skills (sit, stay, down, leave it, walk away, etc.) but making them much more challenging.
  • Continuing to overcome common behavioral issues (barking, jumping, biting, chewing, aggressiveness towards other dogs or people, etc.)
  • Handling distractions (adding distance and distraction to the stay and come behaviors, with the goal being better off-leash reliability)
  • Heeling (comfortably walking at your side without pulling)
  • Other real-world leash handling skills
  • Fun bonding games such as fetch, frisbee catching and targeting
