If you have graduated from one of our Foundation obediences classes OR you have done a beginner obedience class elsewhere and are wanting to continue to challenge both yourself and your dog to a higher level of communication, then our intermediate class is the class for you! This is a great stepping stone to learn more advanced obedience skills to be able to live peacefully with your dog at home as well as taking him into public areas. It is also a stepping stone to advance towards our Speciality classes such as FUNAgility, Tricks, Rally and Competition Obedience where a solid obedience foundation is required.
Everyone says “But he listens at home”! When you take your dog away from home does he tend to tune out and not pay attention to you? This class teaches you how to get your dog tuned into you even when you are away from home and amongst challenging distractions.
Our intermediate training program consists of 5 one-hour in-depth classes conducted by our professional dog trainer and covers everything you need to know to build a strong relationship with your dog and help his/her development of important life skills.
Great to see results in just a few weeks.
My favourite part was just seeing how quick the dogs picked up on this way of training it was great to see the results in just a few weeks. The dogs and owners were having fun!
Positive Reinforcement
What was your favourite part of the class: I have a big smile on my face as I write this because I want to say, “Everything”. But if I had to choose it would have to be the positive reinforcement the instructor gave for each and every job well done. It works just as well for humans as it does for dogs. (Come to think of it, she was encouraging if the job wasn’t particularly well done, too.)
controlled environment
My instructor was wonderful. The controlled environment allowed my exuberant Rottweiler to get used to being calm and under control around exciting people and dogs
Very Helpful & Friendly
The instructor was very helpful, very friendly, and answered all our questions. Our favourite thing was seeing the progress of each dog from the first class to the last class.
