Foundation Skills Level 2

For dogs who have already completed our level 1 class or with instructor approval. This class is designed to be taken after Foundation Skills Level 1. We will build on behaviors learned in your level 1 class as well as introduce some new skills. The focus will be on building reliability, impulse control exercises, controlled greetings with people and other dogs, and more. 

​

Dogs must be dog and people friendly. This class is not appropriate for dogs that bark or lunge at other dogs.

​

Schedule: Classes are 5 weeks (please see "Session Notes" for any preplanned skip weeks).  We meet the same day and time each week for 1 hour.

Make Up Classes: There are no make ups for missed days for these classes.

​

Registering 2 dogs for the same class:  Please note that we highly suggest registering each dog for their own class time.  This will give them the opportunity to learn to be apart from each other, work independently and build a relationship with you.  We understand that not everyone's schedules allow for signing up for 2 different classes.  If you need to register 2 dogs for the same class, each dog must have their own dedicated adult handler attend class with them.  This will give you the ability to focus on what is being taught.  

​

Children and Guests in class:  We also ask that you limit those who attend class to those who are actively participating in training and who can remain quiet during class.

​

Weather Related Schedule Changes: Please note that in the summer months, we may have to skip unexpectedly due to heat/smoke. Those classes will be added on to the end of your current series.

Requirements:

• Proof of DHPP & Rabies vaccines

• Completion of a level 1 class with Dodger's Paws. If you have not taken a level 1 class with us please email  Martha@DodgersPaws.com to see if this is an appropriate class for you and your dog.
