Beginner's Manners Training
Designed for dogs learning essential everyday behaviors, from sit and stay to loose-leash walking and home manners.
Set your dog up for success with our Beginner’s Manners classes at New Moon Pet Training. This 8-week, skills-based course blends foundation training with real-life behaviors to help you and your dog thrive together. Designed for dogs of all ages, the program kicks off with an orientation session and gently builds new skills week by week in a supportive, low-stress environment.
You’ll learn not only what to teach your dog but how dogs learn, so you can keep making progress long after class ends. Using science-backed, positive reinforcement methods, we focus on clear communication, confidence, and self-control, making training effective, enjoyable, and something you both look forward to.
Throughout the course, your dog will learn to offer attention, respond reliably to cues, build impulse control, and master behaviors like sit, down, recall, polite leash walking, targeting, leave it, wait, settle, and more. Meanwhile, you’ll gain hands-on experience with clicker timing, clean cueing, shaping and capturing behaviors, and tuning in to your dog’s body language.
Whether you’re starting fresh with a puppy or refreshing an adult dog’s skills, Beginner’s Manners lays the foundation for a well-mannered, confident companion, helping you both enjoy a happier, easier everyday life together.
