Intermediate Class Overview
This class is intended to fine tune, and quicken skills that your dog learned in a beginning or basic class. It is structured to build and practice more detailed concepts with each session and daily practice at home. Your goal for the next eight weeks will be to train your dog to act favorably in social situations. The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) testing will be offered on the last day of class, for a small additional fee. Depending on the needs and desires of each individual class the following may be taught:
- Socialization
- Sit, down, stand and stay commands
- Recall
- Heeling on lead
- Behavioral problems
