Dog Obedience Level 1: Basic Life Skills
Learn to teach your dog calm behavior, good manners, basic cues, leash walking and mental enrichment while building a trusting bond through positive training and science-based behavior techniques for dogs of all ages.
One adult must be present per dog, with a current limit of two people per dog. The first week is a humans-only orientation—no dogs. Attendance at four classes is required to graduate.

As a trainer with Unleashed Behavior and Training Services, Holly is a CPDT-KA and Certified Family Dog Mediator. She made the change from dog enthusiast to dog professional after taking part in a training class. Her compassion for animals and desire to assist the humans on the other end of the leash is evident. Holly continues to pursue education in the science of dog training by attending classes and seminars. She looks forward to passing her knowledge on to her clients. Holly loves watching the relationship between dogs and their owners grow as she introduces the positive training techniques Unleashed Behavior and Training Services has to offer. She finds it incredibly fulfilling when both owners and their dogs have fun training and when the owners learn how to effectively communicate to their canine family member. Holly is also a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.
