Out & About Class

Have you mastered basic obedience in fairly low distraction environments - like home and at training class? If you are ready to take your training on the road, this is the class for you. Each week we will meet in a different location (i.e. Saunders-Monticello Trail, Pet Supplies Plus, The Lawn at UVA, The Downtown Mall. etc.) and work on polite manners in the face of some big distractions.

Prerequisites: Basic Obedience and Intermediate Obedience or at the discretion of the instructor.

Things we will cover in class:

• Attention Training
• Leash Manners
• Sitting Politely for Petting
• Settling in a Busy World
• Leave It
• On Leash Recall
• Reactivity to Other Dogs and Novelty

My Thanks to Patty Worthington and Melba Atkinson of Golden Rule Dog Training for the inspiration for this class - their Taking It To The Streets Class. Please check their web site (www.grdt.com) for an updated schedule for agility, rally-o, and obedience classes.
