A fun, indoor workshop to help your dog greet people calmly and politely.
About this Event

Does your dog jump on guests, get overexcited meeting people, or struggle with self-control in public?

If your dog’s enthusiasm sometimes turns into chaos — jumping, pulling toward people, whining, wiggling, or “happily assaulting” strangers with love — this warm, indoor spring workshop is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Join us for a fun, beginner-friendly class held inside Lowe’s Carson City, where your dog will learn calm, polite greeting skills and better social manners around people and other dogs. We’ll start with a quick meet-up outside the Garden Center entrance, then head indoors where it’s comfortable and controlled, making it the perfect setting for learning real-life manners.

This workshop is designed to be encouraging, low-pressure, and perfect for new clients.

What You and Your Dog Will Learn
🤝 Polite Greetings (with People and Dogs)

Teach your dog to keep all four paws on the floor, approach calmly, and wait for permission before saying hello.


🚪 Doorway & Threshold Manners

Learn easy techniques for preventing door-darting, jumping, crowding, or surging ahead.


🧘 Settling Around Distractions

Practice relaxed behavior while people walk by, carts roll past, and other dogs are nearby.


📣 Impulse Control Games

Fun exercises that help your dog pause, think, and make better choices automatically.


🛒 Real-World Social Skills

Navigate a busy store with polite behavior — perfect prep for greeting visitors, vet visits, farmers markets, and spring outings.

Everything is taught in a friendly, supportive environment so both you and your dog feel confident and successful.

Who This Workshop Is Perfect For

✔ Dogs who jump on people

✔ Families with kids
✔ First-time dog owners
✔ Dogs who “love too hard”
