Basic Skills for Dogs-Online Training 2023

Class Description

Building a foundation of basic obedience,  handling skills and relationship routines for all members of the family makes daily life safe and enjoyable for everyone.

This online class is designed to build a solid training and relationship foundation in a location of your choice. Working at home is beneficial for shy, under-socialized and overly reactive dogs to lay in training skills such as  engagement and calm as well as recall, sit, down, appropriate greeting behavior and using targets and platforms to develop focus and enrichment activities.

This class will be taught via Zoom with  the opportunity for you to submit additional video of in-home training sessions for feedback from a trainer. You will be able to ask questions in real time during live sessions and refer to the class handbook that is included for each week.

Each class session will have a lecture topic, demonstration and videos for practice follow-up.
