On-Line Training @ Our Pal’s Place

Given the current environment, people are spending much more time with their pet companion while others are finding it a perfect opportunity to adopt a new companion. O.P.P.'s Daycare, Boarding & Training wants to help by providing a one-time-only offer of 50% off our Good Manners and Puppy Manners on-line training programs. Normally $25 per session, our Shelter-In-Place Special is $12. Space is limited so sign-up now!

Understanding how your dog companion communicates with you is more than tail wags and ear posturing. Do you know what your dog is communicating when they lick their nose, shake off or yawn (hint: it's not because they are tired)?

This course empowers you to understand what your companion is communicating through his/her body language and how you can communicate back! The course also addresses how to handle different situations, especially those that upset your dog. With this knowledge, you can build a stronger relationship with your companion and keep your dog safe when stressed.

An added bonus is you will have the opportunity to receive free training advise from our Director of Training, Sandy Adcock, and K9 Coach Lead, Amanda Wilkinson.

Saturday, May 9, 10:00am - 12:00pm

Good Manner training is a great way to help a new pet companion acclimate into a home, understand expectations and establish a consistent routine. For a dog who has been in a home, Good Manner training offers a refresh on basic skills and advancement on desired behavior. Good Manner training includes:

Week 1: Sit, Down, Polite Greeting & Hand Targeting

Week 2: Watch Me, Leash Manners & House Manners

Week 3: Leave It, Come & Stay

Each lesson will begin with a demonstration of the skill being taught followed by each participant practicing the skill real-time with their dog. Sandy and Amanda will provide interactive coaching to help each participant and their dog learn the skill. Between on-line training sessions, participants are encouraged to practice the skill with their dog and will have the opportunity to ask follow-up questions at the beginning of the next training session.
