• The value of engagement

Trainer: Toki and Hailey

Our Level 2 Intermediate Obedience is designed to build upon techniques learned in Level 1 and work toward fine-tuning your dog’s obedience. We will work to increase your dog’s understanding of training by expecting behaviors with less handler help and under higher distraction. 

The class culminates in the A.K.C. Canine Good Citizenship (CGC) test.
The AKC CGC test is designed to replicate things that your dog would need to do in pet-friendly, public areas such as polite greetings, loose leash walking, reaction to distractions, and more.
