Intermediate Manners: Like High School for your dog -- don't stop at Basic, life requires more! Walk on a loose leash past a high distraction item or Come! to you past a temptation like a person or toy, walk past another dog & handler team without puling or stopping to say Hi....lots of real life practice once your dog knows the basics!

Three Critical Skills: Come When Called, Walk Nicely on Leash, and Greet People Politely. This focused, intensive course meets 3 times and concentrates on these three most important life skills.

You and your dog partner to perform cues such as circle to the right, 1-step sit/2 steps sit/3 steps sit, down stays with distractions, and much more!
