Our Advanced Manners class takes training beyond the classroom and into the real world – where polite and mannerly behavior truly matters. Designed for dogs who already have a solid foundation of basic skills, this small group class focuses on building reliability amid the everyday distractions of New York City life. 

Together, we practice loose-leash walking, focus around other dogs and people, calm behavior at corners and crosswalks, and responsiveness to cues in a dynamic urban environment. This is a two session course which meets two weeks consecutively.

Curriculum

  • Responsiveness to Cues in New Environments
  • Leash Manners Practice with Real Life Distractions
  • Settling in a Public Setting
  • Impulse Control Around Outdoor Distractions
  • Recall Practice Outdoors

Details

Working around real-life activity allows dogs and their people to strengthen communication, and impulse control where it counts most.With expert coaching and thoughtful progression, you’ll learn how to support your dog through increasingly challenging situations so that good manners become consistent habits – not just practiced skills – helping your dog navigate the city with calm, focus, and ease.
