Small Wonders: Basic Manners with a Tiny Twist!

Is your little one a consummate lap dog? Or, really, more of a huge dog in a tiny body? Either way, small dogs need to learn etiquette, too! Because of their manageable size, small-dog guardians often choose to overlook shyness, jumping, barking, or other typical small-dog quirks. Give your small dog a little something special. Give them the chance to shine!

Dogs will be allowed to socialize at the end of each class. Graduates of this class will be ready to move on to our Intermediate Manners or Tricks for Kicks class.
