Our Building Basics group class is our launching point for our Core Obedience Program. All dogs start at this level regardless of their previous training experience. However, those with foundational training can progress quickly through the appropriate levels. To graduate, students must demonstrate proficiency in the following behaviors, progressively increasing duration, distance, distraction, and diversity, and transitioning toward real-world applications as determined by the instructor: sit, down, stay, loose leash walking, come and appropriate greetings of people. All dogs must have Rabies and Bordetella (for puppies, age appropriate vaccines are accepted if they are not old enough for Rabies) and should not exhibit aggressive behavior on a leash, such as excessive barking, lunging, or snapping towards people or other dogs.

For all dogs who have been given instructor approval to graduate out of Sharpening Skills, our Mastering Manners group class is your next step. If you'd like to purchase Group Class Core Obedience Package instead of paying for single sessions, please email hello@logicallycaninellc.com

One of the most important behaviors that we can teach our dogs is how to come when called (i.e. recall). Many dogs struggle with this skill in the face of outside temptations such as smells, people, other dogs, etc. In our Ready, Set, Recall! course, we will start by selecting our recall word and charging up the importance of that word up in order to make it highly valuable for our dog. We will then take that recall word and incorporate it into several different exercises that will start having our dogs return to us faster. We will start to introduce distractions near the end of the class, but we highly encourage you to take the second part of this series when it becomes available as it will specifically work on this skill with higher levels of distractions and in new environments. Dogs must be six months or older, have up-to-date Rabies and Bordetella vaccinations prior to the first class and not be aggressive on leash (i.e excessive barking, lunging, snapping, etc.) towards people or other dogs.
