Just the Basics Summer Class for Young Puppies with Michelle Martens at Jeffrey's North Beach (1 Session)
Check out our new summer class offerings at Jeffrey’s! We’ve structured classes into concentrated, mini courses of 1 to 2 weeks to accommodate busy summer schedules. Take one course or take them all.
In this single-session class, we will cover foundational training skills to help your pup succeed in future training. Foundation skills include name recognition, sit and down, hand targeting for focus and redirection, and beginning impulse control (taking treats politely).

Number of sessions: 1
Duration: 50 minutes
Venue: Jeffrey’s North Beach (1841 Powell Street, San Francisco)
