You will be introduced to more real-life situations with actual distractions you will come across everyday.

Go to your place and settle command

This class will help reduce your dogs reactivity and regain focus and control of your dog

Dogs will not be allowed to be within reach of other dogs or humans.

Learn, refine and perform tricks and have them evaluated by an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator. Dogs perform individual tricks to earn a Trick Dog title. Tricks are categorized by their level of difficulty, and the higher the level of competition, the more difficult the tricks that your dog will need to perform.
During any time of each class, if you feel you and your dog are ready, you can be evaluated for a title! If you pass, then you can immediately start training for the next title level!
There will be 2 evaluators in this class helping you to learn your dogs tricks to earn your titles.
