Basic Obedience Training & Socialization for Adolescent Dogs
This workshop is designed to help dogs (that are 6 months and older) who have never developed good manners, have forgotten their manners or need to fine tune what they learned in Basic Obedience Puppy Training. This is also a great workshop for newly adopted dogs of all ages to teach them a firm training foundation and manners and help them get acclimated to family life.
This workshop can be taught as a continuation of the BBDT Basic Obedience Puppy/Small Dogs Workshop or can be taught to adolescent and older dogs that need to start with the basics.
​
​How many attend this workshop?

​What if my dog has aggression issues?
If you feel your dog may not be suited to attending a group class with fellow canines, email BBDT for more information on private sessions as group lessons would not be the best environment for your dog.
