Class Details

Paula McKenzie’s
2022 Advanced Dog Obedience Class

This class works on improving your dog’s response to commands, moving the dog and handler to the next level of skill and understanding. In this class, you will reinforce learned commands and learn new commands. Socializing and controlling your dog while distracted, voice commands, off-leash, and other training will be addressed. Off lead work is introduced for dogs that are ready. This is a structured class that builds teamwork between the dog and the handler. This class follows Beginning but it is also an excellent class for the dog and handler that have been away from training and need to brush up on their skills. You and your dog will enhance success by practicing skills at home between classes.
