Village Dogworks: Intermediate Obedience

Intermediate Obedience builds off the foundation of basic. This is a course for people who love working with their dogs -- or who NEED to work with their dog.

This course enables you to develop your training, improve what your have learned and introduce new skills which are both useful and enjoyable for you and your dog.

At the Intermediate level, dogs learn to listen and focus on your commands both up close and from a distance. Attention is placed on developing a 100% reliable recall, perfecting the heel and working with your dog in protected, off-leash areas. Plus special attention is devoted in each class to teach your dog the skills to walk comfortaby at your side -- no matter if there is a squirrel "taunting" them or a skate board whizzing by.

with House
Training?

A New Puppy Appointment
Having a new puppy in the house poses unique challenges to the city dweller. We can help you set up a program to quickly navigate the difficult journey of puppyhood including house training, crate training, nipping, nuisance barking as well as the more difficult challenges of destructive chewing and separation anxiety.

Does your
dog have a
few issues?

Behavioral Consultation
Does your dog have a few issues? Do they hate being alone? Do they bark and lunge at other dogs or strangers? Are they getting into frequent fights at the dog park or bothering your neighbors with nuisance barking? Fixing problem behaviors can be a great way to forge a positive relationship with your dog and help them overcome their stress to lead a more balanced, comfortable life. Behavioral consultations begin in your home -- or at the place where the problem occurs -- to teach you the techniques to help your dog overcome their issues.
