Foundation Skills Level 3

Foundation Skills Level 3 is for graduates of our Foundation Skills Level 2 classes, focusing on advanced handling skills. This class is for those who want to continue their dog's education and to keep training fresh and fun!You and your dog will be working on your teamwork, new challenges, polishing up what you have already learned, as well as learning new techniques and skills.

​

​If you're unsure about if you and your dog are ready for Level 3 class, speak with your Level 2 instructor.  Some teams benefit greatly from taking the Level 2 class again to be with a new group of dogs and to keep building on the foundation level that you're both at.  There is nothing wrong with wanting to take the Level 2 class again vs taking the Level 3 class and being overwhelmed.

​

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

​

Schedule: Classes are 6 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 puppy 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 puppies for the same class, each puppy 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 2 class with Dodger's Paws and Trainer Recommendation
