High School (Adult #2)

Introducing our High School training program, perfect for dogs who have mastered the basics and are ready to build upon their foundation with advanced skills (Must have completed Middle School prior to enroolement). In this course, we’ll focus on the “3 D’s” (Duration, Distance, and Distraction) to refine your dog’s responses and increase reliability in everyday situations. Through positive reinforcement and consistent practice, you’ll see your dog’s confidence and manners reach new heights.

This course starts at $350 and will include:

• 3 D’s for All Commands: Strengthen your dog’s sit, down, and stay by gradually increasing duration, adding distance, and introducing distracting environments.

• Heel Through Crowds: Teach your dog to walk calmly by your side, even in busy or crowded areas.

• “Leave It” and “Drop It”: Ensure your dog can ignore or release items on command, a crucial skill for safety and polite behavior.

• Meeting Strangers and Dogs Nicely: Build your dog’s social skills with structured greetings and polite interactions.

• Public Outing Practice: One session in a real-world environment to help your dog generalize their skills and adapt to new settings.

• Enhanced Focus: Reinforce attention and engagement, so your dog can remain calm and responsive despite distractions.
