We’ll cover a range of greeting challenges including sit for petting, doorway manners, passing dogs on leash, waiting for permission, and more. The classroom environment offers you the opportunity to practice these skills around dogs and handlers working on the same activities. The small class size ensures plenty of individualized coaching. Portions of this class may be held outside, weather and activity permitting. Completing assigned homework (5-10 minutes a day) will greatly improve your performance in this class.
The instructors for this class are Sarah Keegans and/or Chad Byerly.
Polite Greetings is a reward-based class. Treats, toys, play, praise, and environmental rewards are generously utilized. Sarah and Chad recommend that you bring your dog to class on a front-clip harness or a flat buckle collar. Bring a six-foot leash, lots of tasty, healthy treats and a tug toy (optional), settle mat &/or chew (optional).
Polite Greetings is for friendly family dogs of any age. As long as your dog is old enough to have received his first rabies vaccination, he may register for this class. Our adult dog classes are intended for dogs who are able to be comfortable and focused around other dogs in a relatively small space. Although a little bit of barking at the beginning of class is acceptable, dogs who bark throughout class or at other dogs are not good candidates for this class and should check out our Rowdy & Reactive Program or our Private Coaching Sessions instead.
