DOG 302: Coming When Called
This class is all about recall and coming on cue. Teaching your dog a strong recall is invaluable and there are many ways to approach it. In this class, we’ll help you find what works best for you and your canine. A strong recall will help you feel more confident at dog parks, on hiking trails, and in your own backyard. A long leash will be provided for this class but you’re encouraged to purchase your own to keep practicing at home as a “perfect” recall takes a lot of practice.
