Pet training

Starting from Sit

The same great SPCA Tampa Bay trainers are now offering “Starting from Sit” at our satellite location, Metro Wellness Center. The class uses positive reinforcement techniques, meaning we reward behaviors we like in order to build a bond between you and your dog. At the same time, you and your dog will learn building blocks towards basic cues like loose leash walking, sitting politely for petting, dropping objects they’ve picked up and leaving other objects alone. Each class also offers time for individual questions.
