About the Class
This 4-week class takes you beyond the foundation of basic skills. It increases resilience and response rates of the basic skills and builds habits that make daily life with a dog in your home safe and enjoyable. This class offers more training games than Basic Skills 1 and reduces dependence on rewards to get reliable performance. Each dog and handler will work at their own pace and be encouraged
Class Requirements
Recommended for dogs that are 6 months or older. Dogs can be home-trained or have completed a basic class at any facility. Dogs should have 60% reliable responses to sit, down, stay and walk for short durations.
Video: In order to advance out of the home environment, students will have one assignment per week to video in a “real world” setting. This will give the instructor a chance to review how you are doing and give you feedback and coaching.
Equipment: You will need a flat or martingale collar and/or a harness that attaches in front or back. A 4- to 6-foot leash is ideal for training. Please avoid correction collars (choke, prong) and retractable leashes, which are not conducive to good positive training. Every dog registered should have an individual handler
