 What to Expect

This unique walking-based approach combines basic obedience skills with controlled movement in a real-world environment. Each session begins with a short stationary obedience refresher in a group setting (max 5 dogs), followed by a structured walk where handlers will:

Practice commands like sit, stay, heel, and OK (release)

Stop periodically for obedience drills

Learn how to reinforce commands while walking with other dogs and distractions

We use positive reinforcement and repetition to train both dogs and handlers.

 What to Bring

6ft leash (no retractables)

Flat collar or prong collar (as needed)

High-value training treats

No vests or harnesses

 Eligibility

Dogs must be 4 months or older and current on vaccinations

Open to all breeds and skill levels
