Building on to what you learned in the Introductory class, we ask more from your dog by adding the 3 D's (duration, distance, and distractions) to their training and begin to work on more complex behaviors such as "place", "stay", and heel walking. This class sets you and your dog up for success in diverse environments and prepares you for more situations you may encounter on a daily basis.

ADVANCED
OBEDIENCE
$199 - 6 weeks - 5 spots per class
Master manners and confidence by completing the Advanced Obedience Class! In this class you will continue to add the 3 D's (duration, distance, distractions) to each cue and learn new cues/behaviors in the process. If your dog is a member of the family and frequently goes on family outings or if you simply want a really well trained dog, this class is for you. CGC (Canine Good Citizen) testing is an option after this class as well!
