Train your dog to be reliable when distracted. Train your dog to be reliable when distracted. Beyond the Backyard focuses on reinforcing your dog's cooperation outside of the home, in public and in especially distracting situations. This class is intended for you if your puppy's foundational skills (acquired in Basic Manners or Ultimate Puppy) are going well inside the home and you are in need of further support. Spaces are limited. *Note: Basic Manners for Puppies or Ultimate Puppy is a prerequisite for this course. We strongly recommend bringing someone to assist. Extra hands ensure you'll be able to use time in class optimally. Our instructors can assist, but will split time equally coaching others.
