Intermediate
This class builds on your dog’s basic obedience skills by adding in distractions to help "proof" the behaviours. Most natural behaviours for dogs are found to be rude or even upsetting to us humans, such as jumping up, and it is up to us to teach them behaviours that we would rather they do instead. Continuing your dog’s education will help them to safely and happily succeed living our human society.
