Happy group class graduation to all of our wonderful dogs! These pups have worked very hard in their group classes to become Really Good Pets and we couldn’t be more proud of them.

In our Basic Obedience class, our students got to work on learning and mastering new skills, like autofocus, sit, down, here, leave it, heel position, slack leash walking, wait, place, and drop it. These students had a great time progressing these skills around distractions of other dogs and people.
In our Intermediate class, our students got to work on their basic commands with more distance, distraction, and duration. They learned new skills like a finish command, heelwork for crowds and competition, front, rear-end awareness, and listening to commands at a distance.
In our Therapy Dog class, our students got to work on honing their skills for future therapy dog work, like being calm in elevators and stairwells, come around other dogs and people, stay in public places, relaxing around other dogs, and heel with more challenging distractions. These students even got to go on a field trip to a hotel to work on their public manners.
