Weekly Training Exercises
Practice makes perfect! We take your pup through a variety of exercises across our multi-week program, teaching new cues while providing increased distraction challenges each time. Distractions may include toys, other dogs, people, sounds, moving objects, and new environments. In training your pup paired with increased distractions, we are setting them up for success in any circumstance or situation your dog may face!
Our Play + Train program requires the prerequisite of week 1 in our Stay + Play + Train program. Additional weeks of Play + Train are optional and recommended. Additional tuition is required per each weekly add-on. Please inform us before the start of your dog’s training if you are interested in additional weeks, so we may tailor your pup’s training accordingly.
