In addition to traditional training methods, games will be used to teach the dogs to focus and engage with their handlers. This engagement enhances the dogs willingness to work with the handler and learn new skills. This class is open to all sizes and breeds of dogs.

Some socializing with other dogs and other handlers
Many other exercises are also covered, with any questions answered.

Note: A short play time for the dogs may be allowed at the end of each class if the instructor determines the group of dogs is suitable for such an experience.
