This class picks right up where Manners 1 left off. We’ll go beyond the basic behaviors and cover Focused Walking, Distance Stays, decreasing your dog’s dependence on rewards and more! You’ll develop a dog that can accompany you in public (parks, pet stores, festivals, soccer games, etc.) and make you proud! 

Your class's expert trainer will use the class Community to answer your questions and give feedback on your submitted videos.  

Requirements:

  • Completed Manners 1 at WAGD or proficiency with all basic commands (Place – Attention to Name – Come – Sit – Down – Stay – Loose Leash Walking).
  • Handlers should already have a good understanding of clicker training foundational concepts.

At the time of purchase, you'll gain access to the class introduction section. On the class start date, you'll start accessing each week's material, one week at a time. Work on your class at whatever time is convenient for you.

Fee: $168 for 6 week class
