Reaction to Distraction

Your dog knows sit, but does he really know sit? This course is designed for dogs who have taken an introductory class and are ready to challenge themselves. In Reaction to Distraction our instructors will teach you how to increase your dog's reliability in the face of all kinds of distractions. We take training out of the class room and into the world. Each week we will work on increasing the levels of distance, duration and distraction. Can your dog remain sitting when another dog walks by? How about when a goat walks by? This course will test your dog's reaction to distraction! *To be eligible for this course dogs must have taken the Starting from Sit class or received prior approval from Behavior & Training Manager.
