Dog Training
New: Obedience, Socialization, and Manners
skill-building summer courses!
BEGINNING--BASIC DOG TRAINING:
Open to all puppies/young dogs over the age of 4 months and adult dogs with little or no prior training. Some young dogs may be better suited for Puppy Kindergarten, next offered in Fall. If your dog has been in a Puppy class already, then this is the next step! Contact Marian with any questions regarding age, temperament, or eligibility. Skills we’ll focus on are Loose-lead walking, heeling, sit, down, stay, come, off, leave-it, wait, hand signals, human and dog socialization.
Equipment every week: 6-foot leash (no flexis), snug fitting collar (training collars will be demonstrated; bring if you’re already using certain equipment), treats your dog LOVES, treat pouch. If you’ve been using a harness, your dog must also come with a snug-fitting flat collar (buckle or snap).
GENERAL for all classes: Since your dog will come to EACH class, please contact the instructor prior to the start date if you have any concerns regarding fear/aggression. Contact Marian with any questions regarding minor children assisting at the Beginner level. Please clean up after your dog should it potty in the vicinity. Contact Instructor Marian Pott for any questions regarding classes, dog behavior, training philosophy. Call 650-888-7445 or Email: miramark9@comcast.net
PLEASE DON’T COME TO YOUR CLASS IF YOU’RE FEELING ILL FOR ANY REASON. Because of social distancing, we’re asking that only 1 or 2 family members accompany each dog. Adult—children should be age 13/up, but please contact Marian if you have any questions about minors. Dogs do better with attention with less family distraction. Please don’t bring your puppy or dog if it is exhibiting any signs of illness: vomiting, lethargy, injury, diarrhea. You may come without your dog in such cases.
Class Fee: $150 per puppy
Class Day: Wednesday
Times: 4:00pm – 4:50pm

Equipment every week:6-foot leash, long line or flexi, snug fitting collar, any training collar in use, high value treats your dog LOVES (meaty/cheesy; NO hard biscuits/kibble), treat pouch.
