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.
