Obedience 201: Skill Building

Skill Building Obedience Class

Prerequisite: Pawcademy Obedience 101: Foundations
*Other comparable training will be considered. Please email to inquire. 

Handlers will continue to challenge their dog with all the basic exercises learnt in Pawcademy Obedience 101: Foundations. We will continue to help you improve your dog’s abilities by learning new commands as well as increasing the difficulty of standard commands. All skills are completed on leash. Dogs must be fully vaccinated to attend class. 

Our experience tells us that your dog will progress faster when you take Obedience 201: Skill Building immediately after Obedience 101: Foundations. Your dog is in training mode, lets continue learning!
