Class Description: Is it embarrassing to let your dog greet someone? Is it hard to control your dog when they see a friend on the street or you have a visitor to your home? In this class we’ll go over what you and your pup need to know in order to have a polite greeting. From management, to practical routines, and clear training strategies, we’ll set you on the right path to a more polite, “Hello!” 

Prerequisites: None, (note: this class is not suitable for dog’s with reactivity or fear of strangers) 

Vaccinations:  Please email your dog’s vaccination records to vaccines@nhspca.org before the first class.  All pets must be current on core vaccinations.
