Dogs must be comfortable working alongside other teams in close proximity.
WHEN & WHERE
Varies. Click here for upcoming schedule.
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
How many times have you said “get down!” to your pup as they enthusiastically greeted your guest? This scenario can go a couple different ways:
- The guest is a self-proclaimed dog person and they love all over your dog sending them into a frenzy of over-arousal and excitement that can spiral out of control quickly, or
- The guest is NOT a dog person and your dog knows this, therefore making it their personal mission to win said guest over for the duration of their visit.
Does any of that sound familiar? We’re here to help you! Get help teaching your dog how to greet people in a more human-appropriate way. Come practice some skills at our workshop in preparation for having guests over!

It focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.
The workshop will include a 15 minute test. Please be prepared to show up five minutes early to prepare. We will offer all levels of testing during this workshop.
If you’re not sure your dog is ready, we welcome your attendance and you can use the test as a tool to gauge what you still need to work on.
