Class Schedules & Sign Ups

Our Advanced Classes are structured to begin to prepare our Students who want their dogs to have more training (proofing basic training and focus around distractions), begin to prepare for a better Trained Dog with Real Life Distrations, Pet Therapy Dog Goals, Canine Good Citizenship Test Goal, Performance Dog Goals to name a few.  We will be changing it up a bit from or Basic Class where we worked the puppies/dogs in front of us and begin working dogs on the Left Side of your body.

Lesson Plan: Increased Distractions when working on basic cues on your Left Side (Sit, Down from a Sit and from a Stand, Sit Stay, Down Stay, adding a Release Word for the Stays, Recalls (Regular & Emergency), Loose Leash Walking, & Attention Walking/Heel), Leave It, Sit/Stays & Down/Stays at Client's Left Side while a stranger approaches and asks to pet your dog (goal is to hold the stay and not jump ultimately for handshakes and petting dog), while attention walking/heeling add in at your side sits, sit then down, and downs from a stand, long line recalls, and emergency recalls.  Calmly attention walking heel past another handler/dog heeling. Level 1 and 2 will slowly build your solid foundation one baby step at a time.
