WHAT IS LEVELS TRAINING?

Levels Training is a member-only training program designed for you to learn at your own pace and convenience.  It is the most flexible group training program available.

During your enrollment period, attend as much or as little training as you desire to achieve your goals and enrich your lives.  The levels program consists of four skill levels, 1 – 4.  Each level introduces new skills to your dog while continuing to practice previous skills with more and more of the 3 D’s (distance, distractions, and duration).

With a level's membership, you can come to the drop-in classes as often as you like for as long as you'd like.  Get as much or as little training as you want or need based on your own expectations for your dog.

LEVEL 1

LEVEL 2

LEVEL 3

LEVEL 4

Each level has specific skill requirements to meet before moving on to the next level.  If you and your dog have met your goals at a lower level, then you can feel free to stop there.  The choice is yours!
