DogGie High School

Once you and your dog have mastered the basics, it’s time to expand your dog’s repertoire. Let’s face it, the basics are nice, but these advanced behaviors will make your life (and your dog’s!) much easier.

You’ll be amazed when your dog learns to wait, leave things alone, pay attention to you, and stay.

To prepare you and your dog for the next level (Out and About and Real Life Distractions), we’ll begin to work with distractions during loose leash walking and coming when called.

Enrollment is limited in order to keep class sizes small -- that way you and your dog get more individual attention and learn faster. And we get to know each of you, your dogs, and what specific problems you're facing.
