Walking and heeling on leash
House manners (to reduce inappropriate behavior such as jumping and barking)

What the students are saying...
"We would like to thank
everyone at 'For Pet's Sake' for the excellent training services received! Zeus thanks you too!!"
Rick, Sally & Zeus
"Love the book, I'm sure I'll be using it for a long time." Jennifer & Rocky
I started training so my dog "would learn his name (even though we used it at home)." My dog "started responding to his name once I put a command with it. Also, one day he ran away from me when I accidentally let go of the leash. It took me about 15 minutes to get him back. I thought for sure he was going to run towards one of the busy streets near the house. I learned all the things I shouldn't have done and what I should have to get him to come back." Shirley & Painter
"My wife and I are now on the same page as far as commands. We also feel we learned some valuable information. Sit/stays have helped in all facets of our life, from company coming over to our routine walks." Josh, Laura & Molly
I started "obedience for a happy, polite doggy and an unfrustrated human -- thank you for an awesome experience training us" Linda & Piper
