All dogs will be taught in a humane manner using positive reinforcement methods. This class is limited to 4 dogs. \nFees\n$30 per class\, includes a clicker for training. Fees for classes are subject to change and are non-refundable. \nNote about Treats\nThe best way to train your pet is through the proper use of positive reinforcement and rewards.
