Ready to Level Up Your Pup's Skills?
Intermediate dog training class 8-Week Training Adventure
Graduated from basic manners & obedience? Is your pup nailing commands even with distractions? Then it’s time to take your teamwork to the next level!
Join us for this intermediate 8-week course on Saturday where we’ll meet weekly at high-traffic parks and public spaces across Phoenix’s West & Central Valley. The curriculum will get more challenging each week, both in training expectations and real-world distractions!
What You & Your Pup Will Do:
* Strengthen basic commands using hand signals and verbal cues at a distance while improving position changes
* Master leash manners in busy parks and even mall environments, solidifying Heel/Reel placement
* Learn advanced obedience positions: Front, Middle, Behind, Back Up, Weave, Spin/Twirl, Orbit, & Touch
* Build impulse control with boundary training Back, Place, & Wait
* Practice polite greetings around people and other dogs
* Develop leash safety habits while walking in groups
Each class runs for 1 hour, and we recommend committing to 30-45 minutes of practice daily to get the most out of the course.
