Adolescent Obedience Program

In this training program we take the basic obedience programs to the next level. Now that your dog knows the ropes, we can start to further work on the skills needed to build focus and greater impulse control in different real-world settings like parks, busy streets, coffee shops or in some cases public transport. This is also a great program for dogs looking to fine tune some skills before completing their Canine Good Citizen (CGC) exam. All dogs enrolling in this program need to have attended and completed a basic obedience program in the past. Your trainer will begin by working on obedience skills, like greetings, walking in public with other people and dogs around, giving them the opportunity to make a mistake and learn what’s expected in that situation. After your dog comes home, your trainer will go over the necessary handling skills during your lesson. You will be able to tackle things like, walking your dog off-leash (where permitted and safe), stay in place at a distance until released, and know your dog will come to you when called.
