At The Dog Tutor’s facility, the emphasis is on teaching your dog manners for use in the real world.  The real joy of being a dog owner comes from spending time with your canine friend.  This may take the form of competitive sports such as agility or flyball or obedience competition, or it just may be hanging out together.
