Small Group Classes

Our small group classes are designed to help you and your dog build real-life skills in a supportive, structured environment, without the overwhelm of large class settings. We focus on helping dogs learn how to succeed, while giving you the tools and confidence to support them every step of the way.

Who These Classes Are For :

  • Puppies who want to get started on the right "paw"

  • Adolescent dogs who are a little… busy and need help listening 

  • Dogs who need help with their overall manners and life skills

  • Guardians who want to learn how to train their dog effectively


These classes are best suited for dogs who can work in a group setting. If your dog is struggling with significant reactivity, fear, or aggression, we recommend starting with private training for the best results.

What Guardians Have To Say About Our Classes : 

We discovered Mannered Mutts a few months ago and have been regularly bringing our one year old dog to Olivia’s classes. Our pup absolutely lights up when he sees her! Olivia’s commitment to her education as a dog trainer shows. She approaches training and behaviour modification with force free, positive reinforcement methods which was very important to us. She offers clear instruction, is open to answering questions, and gives really practical advice for day-to-day training with our pup outside of class. The personalized advice for each individual dog really sets her apart from other classes we’ve attended. Highly recommend!
