Take it to The Next Level and Beyond

Pre-requisite - The Basics

These are 5-week packages for dogs that already know the Basics. Students will learn to add more distance, distractions, and durations to already known cues. More time will be spent on Loose Leash Walking and leash handling skills with gamesthat teach your dog that it’s okay to go off and sniff, but when cued, to focus back in on you. Students will also learn to use "Life Reward" and "Enrichment" to reinforce desired behaviors. Your dog can work on longer-distance recalls and stays with increasing distractions. There are no limits to this class. Add new behaviors of your choice including fun tricks – it’s up to you. It’s all about building that positive relationship with your pup!

Diamonds in the Ruff

Do you have a reactive dog? It doesn’t matter if your dog is reactive due to over-excitement or fear – reactivity is reactivityand your dog’s body responds in similar ways. Understand that behavior is dictated by the interaction between four primary elements: Learning, Environment, Genetics & Self (L.E.G.S.). These elements are designed to work cooperatively for every animal’s benefit and survival. “Behavior problems” indicate a misfit or imbalance in the L.E.G.S. At K-10, we investigate why the behavior is occurring and work cooperatively with you to find a viable resolution for both you and your dog. - Find more information on L.E.G.S on the Family Dog Mediator page.
