Intermediate Obedience Training
Dogs 6 months or older- $3200
The Intermediate Training package is a 2 week board and train program designed for dogs that have completed the Basic Obedience Program or have mastered all the commands on Leash. In this program all the basic commands are advanced with distractions added in. We begin Off-Leash training and teach in additional commands in bold below.
All training packages include transportation, a training lesson upon return, 2 follow-up lesson(s) and all necessary training equipment. I am available for any questions/concerns that may arise after the return.
