This is an Advanced Outdoor program where we meet in different places each week as part of the training as you and your dog live in the Real World. This class will reinforce and help you retain the more complex behaviors you and your dog have learned previously.
this is a great next step after you complete your Intermediate Obedience Class!!
What you and your dog will learn in this class includes:
-
Getting and keeping your dog’s focus on you with various distractions and in various places in the “real world”
-
Teach your dog to trust that you will be there to handle any situation that may arise in different environments
-
Build your dog’s confidence as you help them navigate new places
-
Expose them to stairways, hallways & elevators and many new people and places
