Intermediate Obedience Curriculum:

Dogs are taught the following commands in Intermediate Obedience Classes.

• Fronts & Finishes - First calling your dog to you, they will sit directly in front of you, then they will go behind you to sit on your left side. This is all one command.
• Precision Heel. Sit when you stop. Turn left and right staying in proper position.
• 3-5 minute "sit" in distractions with toys being thrown past the dogs: food distractions, kids and dogs running by, while the dog maintains his long sit for 3-5 minutes.
• 6-10 minute "down" in distractions same as above but with the dog in a down position.
• 10-15 "place" command in high distractions. Dogs can not get off the place bed till commanded, no matter what is going on around them. This includes running, playing dogs.
• Down in motion: Walking fast and commanding a "down", your dog must follow the command and "down". You will keep walking while your dog remains in position.
• Sit in motion: Walking fast and giving the "sit" command, your dog will stay in position while you walk away quickly.
• Starting out of sight commands: This means dog must stay in positions even if you are out of their sight and a distance away from you.
• Starting "off leash heeling" and "off leash basic commands".
• Back up. Dogs must know how to back up if you need them to, particularly in tight quarters.
• Sit in very high excitement. We will build the dogs drive up and then give them a command one time. They have to be in command and IN control in less than 1 second.
