This class is for anyone who would like a dog to:

  • Stay no matter what’s going on around him
  • Greet people while keeping all four paws on the floor
  • Politely Go To His bed when requested and hang out there
  • Walk beside you with a loose leash
  • Leave anything you ask him to
  • Wait politely at doorways
  • Come to you when called, even with distractions around

You’ll also be learning how to motivate without food, critically assess your dog’s own skill level to set him up for success and as always, the emphasis is on both you and your dog having fun while learning!
