DRILL & INTERMEDIATE
Continue your canine's education! We offer 5-week courses for dogs that have completed a basic Dog Obedience class. Our "post-graduate" classes provide handlers and dogs with the opportunity to continue improving and reinforcing basic obedience exercises in a group setting, and also introduce new skills and exercises. Long-distance stays, recalls from 30 ft., hand signal work, and continuing exposure to different distractions are mainstays of these classes. Students may progress to off-leash training as their skills improve, as well as other advanced exercises such as Drop on Recall, and Sit-Stay and Down-Stay out of sight. Handlers preparing for obedience competitions, pet therapy programs, or "Canine Good Citizen" certification will find this class extremely helpful. Certificates of Completion are awarded at the final class.
