Each level introduces new skills for your dog while continuing to practice previous skills with more and more distractions. Although each level has specific skill requirements which must be met prior to moving on to the next level, you and your dog progress through the levels at your own pace. You get as much of as little training as you want or need, based on your own expectations for your dog. Sign up for one of our training memberships and train as much as you like for as long as you like. Move through all four levels or choose to stay at a lower level. The choice is yours!

Benefits of Levels Training over traditional classes:

Orientation classes start approximately every two weeks so there is little wait to enroll your dog in a class.
All the dogs in each level are at a similar stage in training. This allows instructors to better address the needs of each dog.
Work at your own skill level for as long as necessary. No falling behind since there is no requirement to move up.
Students can revisit a lower level at any time to brush up on previous skills.
Dogs move in and out of each level throughout the training, which provides new dogs as distractions each week.
Students can take time off if they have a very busy week or go out of town. Just return to class at the same level without fear of falling behind.
Have extra time in your schedule? Attend more than one session a week if you are able to do so.
Level 4 will continue to work on your dog’s skills in a wide variety of areas such as the Canine Good Citizen Test, off-leash training, public manners training, and distance commands around distractions.

Calming cautious canines

It’s not easy having a shy dog. It’s hard watching your dog when you know she is scared: worrying about new environments, trembling when friendly people approach, flinching at loud noises, or hiding behind you rather than running around checking things out. Having a shy dog can also be frustrating because the qualities you know and love so much about your dog sometimes seem to disappear when you take your dog outside. You want everyone to see the wonderful qualities about your dog, but all they see is nervous energy. This class will teach you the skills you need to help your dog develop confidence and to feel secure in new situations.
