Ready for the Next Step? Explore Our Advanced “Out and About” Program
After completing Basic Training, many clients choose to elevate their dog’s skills with our Advanced “Out and About” adventure. This program takes training into real-world environments and builds on the obedience foundation to improve confidence, reliability, and focus.
Dogs in this program learn advanced behaviors like:
• Responding to silent cues (e.g., going to their place when the doorbell rings)
• Polite behavior in restaurants, parks, sporting events, and more
• Calm and appropriate conduct during travel
• Preparation for Therapy Dog certification and public access work
Advanced Training includes:
• AKC Community Canine and/or Urban Public Access testing
• Unlimited Advanced Group Classes in public settings
• Three private “Out and About” lessons
• Individualized training based on your lifestyle and goals
Note: Due to travel and environmental exposure, we accept only a few Advanced clients at a time. No sessions are scheduled from July to September due to heat concerns.
Health Requirements:
To ensure a safe training environment, all dogs must be up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, have two negative fecal exams per year, receive two annual Bordetella vaccines, and be on current flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
