Designed for handlers and dogs who have completed Private Training, Board & Train, or passed an assessment, this group class focuses on strengthening the core skills needed for safe, reliable behavior around distractions.

This class is ideal for teams still developing dog neutrality, engagement, and consistency in basic obedience before moving into intermediate-level work.

Training emphasizes leash skills, focus around other dogs, reliable sits and downs, recalls, impulse control, and clear marker use—all in a structured, supportive group environment.

Perfect for maintaining progress, filling in gaps, and preparing teams for advanced group training.

Built for handlers and dogs ready to move beyond the basics and develop real-world reliability, focus, and precision.

This approval-only group class builds on skills established through our Private Training and Board & Train programs, creating a structured environment for teams ready to work at an intermediate level.

Eligible teams must demonstrate dog neutrality, a functional lure, and understanding of marker training. Limited exceptions may be approved after an assessment.

Training focuses on intermediate obedience, engagement under distraction, precision heeling, reliable recalls, impulse control, and clear handler communication.

Ideal for maintaining progress and preparing for advanced obedience or protection foundations.
