Mind Your Manners

Madison Mind Your Manners

Is your dog struggling with some of the basics? Frequently, the first steps are the hardest - and the most important. Basic obedience (like sit and stay, walking politely on a leash, not jumping up on every passerby, and not barking at strangers in public) is the foundation of a well-behaved dog that's a joy to be around. 

Fortunately, these foundational skills don't usually require any serious time investment to perfect! Many dogs can go from public nuisance to polite companion in the span of a single weekend with the right focus. 

At Mind Your Manners, we focus on those basics: quick, easy, intensive manners training, helping you and your dog learn the skills you need to help your canine companion to be on their best behavior. Younger dogs don't have the attention span of older dogs, and may do best with multiple 30-minute sessions, but an older dog, or a working breed, might be able to get all of their basics down in a single two-hour session. 

When you fill out the form, we'll appraise your dog's age, breed, and situation, and recommend a plan based on what behaviors you're looking to improve. 

At Mind Your Manners, we focus on the foundation of your dog's behaviors - this isn't meant to be a long-term course, and we only work with dogs one on one, so we can address behaviors that may be aggravated by the presence of other dogs. 

If you believe having another dog present for your session would be helpful, let us know! Our example dog, Theo, would be happy to help out.
