Mandy Eakins
.
Manners Matter Dog Training and Daycare is built on modern dog training techniques, using effective methods that do not require the use of correction collars, fear, or intimidation. While traditional training tends to focus on what not to do, our training is focused on teaching the dog what to do. Training should be fun and engaging for both the dog and owner. Learning is a team sport and we take our role as coach seriously.
Manners Matter Dog Training and Daycare offers a variety of services, including:

Group Classes:
Group classes are an economical way to learn training techniques to get the best behavior out of your dog. Our small class sizes allow for a controlled environment to work around distractions with individual attention from our certified trainers.
