Chili Cook Off January 17th!

It's Chili Cook Off fund-raiser time again. Yum! The 6th annual chili cook off and chili feed held by Yakima Valley Pet Rescue will be held on January 17th 2009 at the new National Guard armory.

Advance tickets are $10.00 and available now at Manning Dog training. We had a lot of fun last year and even won an award for our chili. Come help us win again while raising money for an excellent cause - our friends with paws.

Thanks, Sun Dogs!

Christmas is Upon Us!

The Critter Cab folks and Manning Dog Training teamed up to create this Christmas float. It took first place in the Sunnyside Christmas lights parade. Watch for it here in Yakima!

Welcome to Manning Dog Training, central Washington's number one facility for the education of dogs and their owners. We're located in Yakima, Washington, where we've been in business since 1992. We're recommended by vets, shelters, and animal control officers. Our Accelerated Learning Program is unique, and the results are phenomenal. Our goal: to help you have a more meaningful relationship with your dog -- one that's based on natural communication, understanding, and mutual respect.

We offer a variety of training options for dogs and people of all ages. Puppy Parenting Class is for anyone struggling to integrate a brand new puppy (or adult dog) into their household. Leadership Class, our trademark at Manning Dog Training, is the group class that teaches obedience, communication, relationship development and problem solving for companion dogs. Rally Obedience Class teaches the newest form of AKC obedience competition. Our Agility Program can introduce you to this popular canine sport and take you at! the way to national competition. Private Lessons, done at your place or ours, are for people with special needs and tight schedules. Doggy Day Camp provides exercise, play and socialization for your dog four days a week. We have two certified evaluators on staff to conduct AKC Canine Good Citizen Testing for your dog. Our Pro Shop carries high-quality dog toys and training equipment at discounts up to 50%. And we are distributors for Flint River Ranch Pet Food, which you can buy fresh off our shelves or have delivered to your home at no additional cost.

It's a family thing! Jane's brother Butch is the creator of the Christmas Light Coke Truck. Jane's sister Rene is the visionary behind the Manning / Critter Cab float. And Jane? She keeps everyone in line!
