This class works on teaching dogs to stay calm and relaxed. I'm seeing many hyperactive or over aroused dogs at home or out in public & this class teaches your dog how to relax out in the world and the skills you need to reinforce calm behavior.

This class is for graduates of my classes that are ready to move onto to next level of training. You dog must be able to be calm and attentive to you around activity with people and dogs because this will be an active class working closer together. You must have a down stay on cue and be able to keep your dog’s attention. If you are not at this level yet, I recommend repeating Family Dog Manners class. Maximum five dogs per class. Call me with any questions if this class is a good choice.
