In this fun weekly ongoing class, we will be working with learners to teach them how to train their own dogs in intermediate and advanced cues and commands.  We will learn about using less treat rewards and fading cues and prompts. This teacher uses positive techniques and commands. This class is ongoing, and students can join anytime. Each meeting, we will be learning to teach basic and intermediate commands for dogs or older puppies such as sit, stay, recall, place, loose leash walking, leave-it, etc.  We will also learn tricks such as shake, spin, roll over, and crawl like a snake. Learners will share feedback and experiences in training their dogs. Learners can join at any time and are not affected as each week the previous skill will be reviewed and weekly commands are able to be taught in one session.
