Refine and Shine

Want to keep your dog’s training sharp and dependable? Refine and Shine is the perfect 4-week class to refresh essential skills and train for real-world scenarios.

You’ll be learning about:

• Strengthening and Maintaining Skills 
  Skills like recall, loose-leash walking, and impulse control fade without practice. A refresher class helps keep these behaviors sharp and reliable in real-world situations. 

• Improving Focus Around Distractions 
  Training in a controlled but stimulating environment helps dogs practice listening and responding even when other dogs, people, or noises are present.

• Building Confidence for Both Dog and Handler 
  Classes reinforce communication, reduce frustration, and boost confidence. Handlers get coaching on timing and technique, while dogs gain comfort and consistency with familiar skills. 

Please Note:

• This is an active class that involves continuous movement. Participants will be walking and standing for much of the session while we refresh and refine our skills.

• Classes will be held rain or shine to ensure consistent training and progress.

Prerequisite: Attendees must complete Level 1 or a Private Session before enrolling in Refine and Shine.
