About Z&E Canine Manners

What they offer

Z&E Canine Manners offers puppy programs (selection, temperament assessment, socialization and manners), obedience training, behavior consultation and modification, private in-home lessons, and group classes for puppy socialization, manners, obedience, leash skills, agility and specialty topics for adolescent and adult dogs.

Instructors

The About page lists its instructors' bios. It names Nildan M Atkay (CPDT-KA, PMCT1, ABCDT), whose interest in canine behavior began about 17 years ago with a puppy that had resource guarding, handling issues and fear-based reactivity.

Good to know

The site says the business is veterinarian recommended and consults for local shelters and rescue groups, with discounts for staff and adopters. It notes high demand may delay replies by a few days.
