Take your dog's training to the next level! Our Level 2 Obedience class builds on the foundations established in basic obedience, focusing on advanced skills like reliable recalls, extended stays, loose leash walking, and distraction-proofing. Perfect for pet parents looking to strengthen their dog's focus and responsiveness in real-world scenarios, this class emphasizes positive reinforcement and practical applications. Whether you’re working toward a Canine Good Citizen certification or just want a better-behaved companion, Level 2 is the perfect next step!

Welcome to Level 2! To ensure a successful and safe experience for you and your dog, please review the following guidelines:

Health Requirements

• Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and follow their veterinarian's recommended vaccination schedule.
• Provide proof of a recent negative fecal test.

What to Bring

1. Leash and Collar/Harness:
   • Use the harness or collar your puppy wears for walks.
   • Bring a 6-foot clip leash. Retractable leashes are not allowed.
2. Training Treats:
   • Treats should be about the size of your pinkie fingernail and squishy for easy chewing.
   • Bring more treats than you think you'll need—hungry dogs are more motivated!
   • Skip dinner on class nights if needed, as your dog will get their meal from your treat bag.
3. Appropriate Attire:
   • Wear comfortable clothes that allow free movement.
   • Closed-toed shoes are required.
   • For farm classes, dress for the weather since outdoor work is common.

Class Etiquette

• Maintain a 6-foot distance from other dogs unless instructed otherwise by your trainer.
• Be prepared to listen to your instructor's guidance to ensure a safe and fun learning environment for everyone.

We look forward to helping you and your dog build confidence, bond, and develop skills in a positive, engaging setting!
