Dog Manners


UPDATE: Dog Manners Classes are on hold. Please check out our most popular service: In-home Training to address your dog training needs.

Do you prefer the individual attention of private training but like the idea of a group class?  You can have both!

Our Dog Manners program was created with our clients in mind.  You will get the benefit of in-home training, where your dog spends most of his time, as well as the opportunity to bring your dog to group class to work on good behavior outside the home.

Private Training
We use positive-based methods which we believe give the best results in training and behavior modification.  You and your dog will receive individual training lessons in your home, twice a month, by a qualified KissAble Canine trainer. Each private session is 45 minutes. Private lessons are scheduled during our Hours of Operation.

Group Class
Additionally, your dog will have the chance to practice good manners with group class distractions.These classes cover foundation skills such as: attention, sit, down, stay, come, and loose leash walking.  Each class will also cover  the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen program.  The program has 10 areas:

  • Accepting a friendly stranger
  • Sitting politely for petting
  • Appearance and grooming
  • Out for a walk (walking on a loose lead)
  • Walking through a crowd
  • Sit and down on command and Staying in place
  • Coming when called
  • Reaction to another dog
  • Reaction to distraction
  • Supervised separation


Classes are offered twice a month and run for 50 minutes. Classes are Saturday mornings.
