Indoors Polite Greetings & Social Manners Workshop

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

✔ Dogs who jump on people
✔ Dogs who get wiggly, overexcited, or vocal around others
✔ Families with kids
✔ First-time dog owners
✔ Dogs who “love too hard”
✔ Anyone wanting smoother greetings and calmer social behavior
