Bedford Parks Department Hosting Basic Manners Class For Dogs

(BEDFORD) – The Bedford Parks Department is offering a basic manners class for dogs.


If you’re frustrated with training your dog then you will benefit from attending the Bedford Parks Department’s four-session Dog Basic Manners Class beginning on January 21.
Owners and dogs will learn fun and simple positive training, management, and behavior skills together. “People will enjoy their dog more when they learn fun and simple training together,” said instructor Mary Hall.
The class is open to dogs at least 4 months old. Classes will be held at the Wilson Park Shelter House Mondays, from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. Jan. 21, Jan. 28, Feb. 4 and Feb. 11. The class cost is $75. Class size is limited. Veterinary record of basic vaccinations is required.
Owners don’t have to have any experience with their dog to attend the classes; however, even experienced dogs and their families will benefit.
Owners will train their dogs to learn the basics like sit, down and wait and will learn to teach their dogs a few new tricks.
Dog parents will also learn tips to solve many common behavior problems.
Concerns such as care, play, and nutrition are also addressed.
Participants receive a cloth treat bag, training treats, helpful handouts and a certificate of completion.
