A good dog starts with a strong foundation. This class introduces your dog to 6 major concepts they should learn to become an excellent family member:

 

​​

• Basic commands: learning how to sit, lie down, and drop it on command; introducing short stays

Level 2 builds on the skills taught in Level 1.  In this level, we will challenge our dogs by showing them how to maintain their skills under distraction to make their skills more reliable in real life settings. We also introduce new concepts like stand and heeling. This level includes:

​

• Basic commands: adding auto sits when you stop moving, introducing a stand and heel command, holding stays for longer periods of time, intro

• Manners: loose leash walking with real world distractions

• Relaxation: sending to bed from a longer distance and staying there longer

• Recalls: coming when called under higher distractions, such as through toys and by other dogs

• Happy handling: learning to also accept handling from the instructor, similar to going to the vet

​

This class will also introduce a few fun dog tricks for you to impress your friends with!
