Here we put in the groundwork of obedience to acclimate your dog to a consistent standard. We will run through a comprehensive series of exercises in various environments and situations to ensure your dog is well-versed in his/her cues & commands. Sometimes the world will throw a curveball at you and we want your dog to experience structure and confidence during these unexpected events with optimum proficiency. Commands mean nothing unless your dog understands the benefits to following your guidance. During this phase we will begin challenging your dog with scenarios of higher difficulty to ensure your dog is prepared for the real world.
