Good Dog Manners Class
This is an excellent beginner class for people with dogs 4 months and older. Certainly, it's never too late to learn. The focus is on building a strong human-canine bond and solving basic problem behaviors. Humans learn solid training theory while dogs learn basic manners (sit, down, come when called, stay and leash walking). This is a well rounded class so be ready for lots of fun and games too. Classes meet one hour a week for seven weeks and are offered at both our Katy location as well as at Citizens for Animal Protection shelter for your convenience.

"Leave It" Seminar
Join our professional training team for an informational seminar on the command “Leave It”! During this seminar, one of our certified dog trainers will teach you how to curb your dog’s impulsive habits by teaching your dog to “leave it”. You can use it anytime an object is dropped on the floor, to help keep your dog from picking up objects while on walks outside or even to help your dog stop chasing the family cat. Impulse control will make training your dog much easier. When applying the right principles in specific situations, dogs learn patterns and habits that can generalize and help them stay calm and manageable in all situations. We look forward to helping you and your pet learn these tools together! Each seminar is one hour long, followed by a 30 minute Q&A.
