Nice to Meet You

This is a short, 4 week, 40 minute class and the only skill we work on is Polite Greeting.  This class is for dogs who are exuberant greeters and enthusiastically jump on greeters.  We will cover several greeting games to help your dog keep their feet on the floor when saying "Hi"!  If a dog is mildly shy, we can also help them become more comfortable greeting people.  This class is NOT for severely shy, anxious or reactive dogs.
