*** Reminder -- These classes are all drop-in attendance. ***


Level 1 -- introduces sit, down, focus, and basic manners.

Level 2 -- introduces leash walking, come, stay, and solving minor problem behaviors such as barking and human/dog relationships.

Level 3 -- introduces 3 higher level opportunities to develop that will help you advance all of your dogs commands and prepare for more real world scenarios with mild distractions. 

Level 4 -- introduces advanced training commands and higher demands in more difficult environments, off leash, and Therapy Dog or Canine Good Citizen preparations.

Level 5 -- scheduled quarterly, this advanced level will involve a rotation of advanced training classes at the facility and also out on location in LeMars.  This is your opportunity to let all your training really show while we work on advanced commands around high level distractions and in various locations around town for the best indications of where your dog truly shines and where you may need a little more work.
