Our instructors will introduce new behaviours and fine tune your dog’s existing skills so you are prepared for real-life scenarios. We will add new distractions at increasing levels of difficulty, including continuing to develop your stays, recall, loose leash walking, heeling, polite greetings, focus on handler and more.
Prerequisites: All dogs in class must…
- Know sit and down on cue (without a lure)
- Hold a 20-second stay (in a sit or down position)
- Have the basics of a recall (with or without distractions)
