Advanced Obedience is for students who want to continue working their dogs in a structured environment. We will sharpen your dog’s existing skills and learn new ones that address real-world issues. We will also develop off-leash skills that can be applied to running your dog in a field or in the woods with control. If you enjoy working with and training your dog and wish to continue building the bond you have created, then Advanced Obedience is for you.

As puppies mature and become more capable, they enter into a developmental period that may include some challenging behavior. This course is designed to build on the training and behavioral skills you learned in Puppy Kindergarten, while encouraging and defining your consistency and leadership abilities. Consistency, reliability and focus are some of the primary training attributes we will work on. In addition, we work off-lead so that puppies learn to practice appropriate social behavior and off-lead control. For dogs five months and over.
