Training Program

The training principles used in Our Good Dog - Good Manners class are a combination of the best from both the Association of Pet Dog Trainers C.L.A.S.S.™ tool and the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen program. During our group class, we work with you at the level best suteded for you and your dog.

At its core, C.L.A.S.S.™ is an educational tool, providing resources and promoting understanding in dog training methods that focus on using positive reinforcement and on building relationships and communication between dog and owner.
C.L.A.S.S.™ and the APDT offer these educational resources freely: to pet owners, the veterinary community, the general public, shelters, and dog trainers. Additional educational tools for dog trainers include curriculum ideas for teaching C.L.A.S.S.™ skills. Read more and print the C.L.A.S.S.™ Student Handbook. For more information about the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program or to register for our quarterly CGC evaluation visit our CGC page.
