Growl Class II

In this 6 week class we build on the foundation of the first class and work in "real world" scenarios. This class is held outside where we can encounter many novel dogs. The goal is to take the techniques we've learned in class I and generalize the behavior across many different scenarios. This class is very challenging; only participants in Bark, Snark & Growl class I are able to enroll.

Real World Training - In this class we build upon the skills learned from level 1 and apply them to "real world" situations by holding the class outside in a setting with with novel dogs.

Real World Results -  Upon completion of Level 2 class you should be able to use the skills you've acquired to "go it alone" and have the results that you want.  

Duration: 6 weeks
Cost: $250
