According to Michigan State University research; Youth who have a dog in their household benefit from increased self-esteem, when a pet shows unconditional love, it boosts a child's self-esteem. Being responsible also develops self-esteem in young children. Having a dog also often requires a gentle touch and learning about boundaries. This will develop respect for others in young children which is a difficult skill to learn at a young age. 

During this class, youth will learn how to train their dogs in their home by attending zoom meetings to go over items such as:

• Allowing the owner to handle grooming, sit, down, stay, come, "Go to place"
• House training ( for puppies)
• Building dog/owner relationship
• Walking on a leash outside
• Food manners
• An appropriate response to doorbells/ knocking 
• Set up an exercise routine for the dog. 

Virtual Home Manners (VHM) is the answer when you want to train your dog at home. When you get a puppy or new adult dog, Virtual Home Manners can get you started on practical skills before you attend a training class. 

This program is Wednesdays December 2nd - January 13th (no program Wednesday, December 23rd).

When an evaluator signs a dog’s CGC test, the evaluator is essentially attesting that the dog was observed to perform all of the skills at a specific test. Although we can try our very best to be responsible, there are no guarantees for the future behavior of animals or humans.
