Manners with Distance, Distraction & Duration (Level 2)

Distance, Distractions, and Duration - Taking the basics up a level.

Description

Your dog has learned the basics and can perform them reliably at home in a controlled environment.  

The goal of this course is to improve the consistency of the skills learned in Dog Manners 1 while increasing duration, distance, and distractions. 

We guarantee your dog will be challenged!  Every week is different to make it fun for you and your dog.  

New skills include:

  • Look at that
  • Controlled exits and entrances at doorways
  • Controlled exits and entrances from a car
  • Touch
  • Targeting
  • Understanding thresholds, stress, and dog body language

Due to the nature of the environment, the lessons include working with other people, dogs, and a wide variety of props in a distracting environment.  The exercises, props, and games used in this course will vary each session.  Students are welcome to repeat this course to improve consistency.
