Once a dog and handler team is proficient at the Beginning Obedience level, they may move into this class which includes lecture, Q&A, practice, and homework.
This is a good class for those who are interested in taking the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test or in achieving advanced obedience titles.
Dogs entering this class should already be able to walk on a loose leash, stay when told, and come when called.
To graduate from this class, the dog must be able to heel with an About Turn, a Fast, and a Slow (without having to reinforce); do a Sit, Stand, and Down Stay off leash; and do a Recall with 2nd Degree Distractions.
Lecture portions will concentrate on behavior issues, leadership skills, and signals your dog presents and how to read and react to them.
