dog owners how to bridge the gap between working on leash and
reliable off leash control. Attendees must have trained with The Dog Squad (e-collar clients only), are currently or have been in a regular Dog Squad Class and are doing well enough to move onto more advanced obedience work. Any dog with any sign of dog aggression must be muzzled. If the dog is deemed too aggressive he/she may be denied entry or expelled from the class.
The 6 week course covers all the basic obedience commands as well as more advanced behaviors. The use of clear hand signals will be integrated into all the lessons.
We will cover sending dogs away from the owner and calling them back. We will teach the dogs how to move from right to left and left to right at a distance. The dogs will learn to perform sits and downs from a distance as well as executing these commands while in mid recall and mid send away.
Included in the course are long stays, stays with distractions while other dogs perform movement commands and stays with the owners out of sight.
Each participant must have a 30 foot long line and a place board/mat. (Place Boards can be purchased from The Dog Squad). This class is for e-collar trained dogs and limited to 10 dogs/handlers. (Note: I will make some exceptions to this rule based on the dog and handler's level). If there are any rain cancellations they will be made up.
