Stop any of the bad manners from the list above that you'd like to fix (with one simple method that works for everything)

Be calm around other dogs and listen to you no matter what else they'd rather be doing

Wait nicely at doorways for permission to come through, even when they're over excited and usually wouldn't listen

Sit on the first command (even when they'd prefer not to) and hold it for 2-5 minutes, under high distraction such as squeaky toys, someone ringing the doorbell, etc. All without saying STAY.

Stay on their bed when told to for as long as an hour or more, no matter how much they'd prefer to do anything else - we use toys and other distractions to strengthen this command. This is a massive one for teaching your dog self control - a skill they need to develop in order to resist their impulsive bad manners

Hold a drop under all types of distractions, without ever saying stay - this also does wonders for building their self control skills very quickly

Learn manners around food and treats - including not to beg

Walk nicely on lead around the other dogs without them pulling on the lead to get to each other

Know the basics of recall so they have the skills to come back when you call them

Have manners in the car, so they don't bark and carry on or try to jump in or out without your say so - we do this with your actual cars

Learn not to cross boundaries, jump on other people or sook or bark in class, using the other class participants as a distraction, with the same process that you can then apply to anything you want to fix at home
