We allow for 1 make up day. This means if you cannot make it to a specific week, you may have a makeup day. If you miss more than 1 week, you must take the class again.
Our trainer has the discretion to determine if your dog is not ready to take the CGC class and reschedule you in a lower level class (Beginner or Intermediate).
We highly recommend completing an Intermediate Group Class before starting this advanced class.

Recall Training
Wait, Focus, and Holding Position
Leash Manners
Does your dog have selective hearing, doesn’t come when called? We can help your dog have more reliable recall both indoors and out. We will practice this skill with common distractions, such as toys, other dogs, and people. We will teach you to be more important to your dog than what is distracting to him or her.
Does your dog run through the door before he or she is invited, won’t hold a sit or a down, maybe he/she is to focused on everything but you? We can help your dog learn how to wait calmly at an open door instead of bolting through it, to stay more focused on hold a sit or a down beside you. Teaching your dog to focus and hold a position will allow you to take them to more places, including friends, family and shopping, as well as provide for better experiences at the vet’s office and parks.
Does your dog pull on the leash, making your walk unpleasant or nonexistent? We can help you teach your dog to walk calmly at your side with a loose leash, even with common distractions such as other dogs, people, and squirrels/cats. With lots of tips and tricks to make walking with your furry friend a more enjoyable experience.
