Courteous Canine

Reward-based dog training and fitness classes focus on practical skills, confidence, and success in everyday settings. Training is available for puppies and adult dogs, as well as therapy and service dogs. Options include private lessons, group classes, and outings, with training tailored to a dog's needs. Classes help dogs practice around other dogs, people, and new environments; the website also describes preparation for therapy dog evaluations. Courteous Canine offers instruction in Wakefield, Bristol, and Portsmouth, Rhode Island, serving South Kingstown and nearby communities. The approach uses rewards to support learning, with practical skills such as sitting, lying down, and staying included in the training described by clients.
