Now that you have a puppy that has good manners at home, the next step is to teach them to be well-behaved in public. Your dog will learn to walk nicely at your side and quietly greet other people and other people who are out with their dogs. You'll learn what makes your dog "tick" so that you can be a more effective trainer. You'll learn games you can play with your dog that teach leadership and control. Your dog will learn the down-stay, the sit-stay, obedience games and a whole lot of new tricks. On graduation day, you'll be given a list of dog-friendly public places that you can enjoy with your canine companion.
