This class offers education for the older dog, who can now focus for longer periods of time and who also may be showing some adolescent tendencies that need to be addressed. Some behaviors just aren’t cute when Fluffy gets to 50 lbs!!!

Dogs will learn sit, down, stay, come, leave it and walking on a leash without pulling. Distance is added to all stays and recalls.

Discussion includes socializing, spay/neuter, jumping, destructiveness, handling, feeding, etc. as well as individual problem areas.

This class will also include exercises to prepare your dog for AKC’s canine Good Citizens test. Testing may be arranged and performed at SmartyPaws.

You will have written homework of items covered in each weekly session.

• Puppies and dogs must have proof of current vaccinations or titers & a negative fecal test that is at least 6 months recent for classes or lessons at SmartyPaws.
• Do not bring dogs on extendable/retractable leashes.
• Bring small bite treats that your dog loves!
