COURSES FOR ADULT DOGS

BECOME THE MOST INTERESTING HUMAN YOUR DOG HAS EVER MET!

Classes are 1 hour & meet once per week.

  • Classes will be held at Meg's small dog training studio in rural Hollidaysburg, PA. Email with location will be sent after enrollment.

  • I encourage all immediate family members to attend, but only if they do not become a distraction during class.

  • Absolutely no reactive or extremely fearful dogs. But general unruliness is welcome and expected.

    • If you have a reactive or extremely fearful dog, I have Private Sessions available.

  • Standard flat leashes only during class. No long training lines (until we get there) or Flexi leads.

  • Come with patience and the willingness to learn.

  • Treat pouches are highly encouraged but a pant pocket will do just fine. I also have treat pouches to loan, just ask.

  • Bring your own high value treats. We suggest something one ingredient.

    • Stewart Freeze Dried Dog Treats are a fan favorite. They come in different quantities and varieties so don’t be afraid to mix and match to keep things interesting for your dog!

Our dogs are a product of how we interact with them. Owning a dog should be a partnership. One must establish a healthy balance of expectations with guidance to ensure an enjoyable life together for both dog and human.
