Manners Class May 2025

CKCOJ Member-Only Early-Bird registration for a discounted price is now available through Wednesday April 23th 6:00pm. After that date registration will be opened to the general public and will go to full price.

For dogs and puppies 10 weeks and older. You will first be introduced to effective communication to help building a better relationship with your dog. Activities will focus on positive training through attention exercises and teaching of basic commands. These include: sit, down, stay, come when called, polite greetings (no jumping), impulse control (no jumping or chasing), and loose leash walking.

We assume your dog has no training from the start, so the emphasis is on the basic commands. Another focus throughout the class is getting your dog to learn to ignore other dogs while on leash. We also work on exercises that will help you and your dog be better prepared when you are out and about on the trails. It’s also a good refresher class if you are interested in moving on to formal obedience, rally obedience, agility, or other dog sports.

Any dog that bites, growls, lunges, or exhibits any behavior that the instructor feels creates an unsafe situation toward other dogs or humans will be excused from class.
