About WHAT A CONCEPT! Dog Training

What they offer

What A Concept Dog Training is run by Marilyn Backman and Janet and teaches concept training: games that build calmness, engagement, focus, optimism and self-control so a dog is prepared for real-life situations. Classes run in sessions, and Level 1 of the life skills program is the usual starting point.

Classes

The class list includes puppy classes on Zoom for owners whose puppies are not yet vaccinated, life skills levels 1 and 2 covering leash walking, recall, disengagement and stays, AKC Canine Good Citizen programs, a class for anxious and fearful dogs, crate games, stress-free walks, tricks, fitness, rally and talks on living with puppies, adolescents, seniors and several dogs.
