Geographical area serving: Greater Los Angeles area with emphasis on the West Side from the San Fernando Valley to South Bay
Services: Doggie Manners is a reward-based training program where we help you train your dog through either private lessons, group classes, or a combination of both private and group. You learn the skills necessary to maintain your dog's behavior. We work with dogs and especially LOVE to work with puppies!
In our one-on-one private lessons, we customize and personalize a trainig program for you and your dog or puppy. For puppies, we talk about the Front End (chewing and biting), the Back End (peeing and pooping), and everything else in between. For adolescent and adult dogs, we work on basic obedience (stay, down, come, etc.) as well as problem solving (jumping, digging, chewing, etc.) and behavior issues (barking, separation anxiety, aggression, etc.)
We have group classes for both puppies and dogs. In our Puppy Kindergarten, we deal with confidence building, socialization and handling, chewing and biting, housetraining, and puppy obedience. During our group obedience/manners classes, we work with you every week on basic obedience (focus, sit, down, heel, stay, and come) as well as manners (waiting at doors and gates, taking treats gently, go to place and lie down, drop it, and ignoring other dogs and people on walks). Please visit my Website www.DoggieManners.com for more information. I'm looking forward to working with you and your dog.

Geographical Area Serving: Inner Adelaide Suburbs, Eastern and North Eastern Suburbs of Adelaide
Services: Based on a system of Bronze, Silver and Gold certification, dogs and their guardians will learn through fun exercises and games, all with practical application for the dog at home and in the community. Skills to help the guardian better bond and work with his/her dog are taught using positive methods. Progression through the training courses aims to build skills and confidence within both dog and guardian to undertake the Australian Delta Society Canine Good Citizen Award Test. This challenging test puts guardians and dogs through elements that have been taught and are relative to everyday living such as car/road etiquette, reaction to meeting and being petted by a stranger, reaction to a new dog, crossing the road, walking nicely with the guardian's hands full of shopping, tolerance to separation, play/settle and other every day needs within the life of a dog and his folk.
