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 mini-course meets 3 times and concentrates on these three most important life skills.
