What your dog learns

Duration

Your dog holds what you ask for longer.

Distance

Your dog keeps working as you move farther away.

Distractions

Reliable behavior around food, toys, people and other dogs.

New exercises give your dog space to think and work things out.

Is this the right class for my dog?

Advanced Home Obedience is a fun class for dogs who have finished Beginning Home Obedience. It’s probably for you if:

  • Your dog has successfully completed Beginning Home Obedience and is over 6 months old.
  • Your dog knows the basics at home but isn’t yet reliable around food, toys, people and other dogs.
  • You’re working toward off-leash control.
  • You’d like to try Agility. This class is a prerequisite for Agility classes at Family Dog.
