Real Life Advanced Obedience
(Group Lessons)
Ozzy
This is a 6-week course. In our Real Life Advanced Obedience course the goal is to attain reliable and consistent off-leash responses from our dogs. This off-leash work is the foundation of most specialty-types of training including Agility, Field Work, Obedience Trials, etc. The skills developed in this course are extremely valuable as safety is an issue when dogs are off-leash. Wildlife abounds not only on hiking trails but also in many areas of the Springs and surrounding communities. Next time you go hiking with your dog off-leash and a Mountain Lion runs across the trail in front of you it is imperative that your dog is under voice control.
Location: 1015 N Weber Colorado Springs
Fee: $195

Note that this is an outdoor course so please dress accordingly. A copy of your dog’s current Rabies vaccination certificate is required.
