Our Intermediate Manners, Behaviors, and Relationships class continues dogs along the path of expanding and proofing their set of aptitude and personal skills in a fun and rewarding atmosphere based on positive reinforcement training methods.
Taught by Lisa Edwards, CDPT-KA, CDBC, students are presented with an environment that is both fun and challenging without ever once forgetting that for dogs to want to learn they have to enjoy it.
