  • Crate training - Make it a positive place to be. Go in on command
  • Walk on a leash (not harness) without pulling - Be the leader of your dog
  • Continue housebreaking
  • Stop jumping on people or furniture

Intermediate Obedience

Five one-hour sessions and phone/email support

Practice Makes Perfect!

  • Leave it - Avoid temptations
  • Off - Get off people or furniture
  • Wait - Stop, wait for next command. This allows you to go first through a door without being tripped and not have your dog bolt out the door when it is opened
  • Stay while in a down and sit
  • Place - go to and stay on a mat (This allows you to  travel  with your dog and show manners while you are eating dinner)
  • Heel - walk by your side in a crowd or by other dogs
  • Emergency down - When dog is running after distraction dog hits the ground in a down. Great for safety of your pet.
