M.A. for Dogs the next level of training the dog of your dreams. This 8-week class builds on the foundations learned in our B.A. for Dogs, Level 1 class. increasing the dog's responsiveness in different environments, even in the face of distractions. Our Masters Instructors strive to meet the needs and desires of the students, using the class structure to guide and coach our students in training and perfecting behaviors such as:

Dogs learn that "come" means come no matter what is going on
Hand signals
Targeting
Stand (great for grooming or visiting the vet)
Back up
"Leave it" (ignore it)
Wait when the car door is opened
Perfecting loose leash walking around distractions
And lots of other new behaviors.
Level 2 includes reducing and eliminating the use of the clicker
And students receive a copy of Volume II of Gail Fisher's Clicker Training Manual

At the conclusion of this class, virtually all our students are fully confident training their dogs, have the degree of control and responsiveness they desire, and are well-prepared to pass the 1st level Canine Life and Social Skills assessment.
