About this event

Intermediate Obedience class will take place at Grace Episcopal Church in Newton, MA on recurring Thursday evenings (8/18, 8/25, 9/1, 9/8, 9/15, 9/22, and 9/29) for 7 sessions. Each session will be 50 minutes long and be held between 6:00 and 6:50 pm. *Note: the first session will be an orientation session for humans only.

For this course to run, there is a minimum of 5 students required, this course will be postponed if we cannot meet course requirements.

This course is appropriate for dogs older than 6 months of age. Topics will include focused attention and engagement, hand targets with duration and for movement, coming when called with distractions, go to a mat and remain, leave it, loose leash walking, and improving response to verbal commands including sit, down, and stand. This course is great for dogs that already have an obedience foundation that need to continue their education. Having knowledge of mark and reward based training is ideal, but we will give you all the tools you need to catch up. If you have questions about whether this level of course is appropriate please feel free to email.

Please contact us if your dog has trouble working around other dogs or humans as this class may not be appropriate for them.

This class will take place indoors with appropriate social distancing. Each family group will be limited to two handlers maximum per dog, class is limited to 6 dogs total to accommodate. Masks must be worn while in class.
