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.
