Master Door Manners & Polite Greetings

Create a welcoming home for guests, and calm for you

Say goodbye to barking, jumping, and mouthing with our Door Manners & Polite Greetings workshop! In 1.5 hours, you’ll learn practical, science-backed training techniques to manage your dog’s excitement and create a calm, welcoming environment for visitors.


What You’ll Learn

  • Quiet at the Door: Minimize barking at the door or window when guests arrive.
  • Polite Greetings: Eliminate jumping, mouthing, and mounting when meeting new people.
  • Calm Hosting: Teach your dog how to relax while guests are in your home.
  • Door Dash Prevention: Stop your dog from bolting when the door opens.


Why Join This Workshop?

Gone are the days of confining your dog when company comes over. This workshop equips you with the tools to manage your dog’s excitement, ensuring everyone feels welcome—including your furry friend.


Two Entry Options

  2. Observer Tickets: Learn the techniques without your dog. Perfect for reactive or overly excitable dogs who may need a quieter environment.

Yes, absolutely! We allow a maximum of two people per dog per class.


We keep class size very small to provide the best experience and value for you and your dog. We accept a maximum of 5 registrants per class, with most classes only accepting 4. Small class size benefits you by allowing the trainer to focus on your specific experience and questions.


We follow and teach science-based positive reinforcement practices and methodologies. 


If you miss a class

If you are sick for a class or otherwise unable to make a scheduled class, the trainer will provide you with the homework for that missed class. There are no make-up classes offered if you miss a class due to your schedule or sickness.  You are welcome to book the trainer for a 30-minute private session to get caught up or have one-on-one instruction for $50. 


Cancellation policy

Payment for class is non-refundable or transferrable if cancellation is made less than two weeks in advance of the class start date. Payment is transferrable for a future class within three months of original class date if cancellation is made more than two weeks in advance of the class start date.
