This 4 week class is only offered for dogs who have been adopted through AWL. If your pup is not an AWL Alumni, but you are in need of training please call the shelter for more resources @ 941.625.6720.
Goals/Skills – Handlers will learn about dog behaviors and learn recommended training practices: you will learn daily bonding and communication games, including “focus” and “place”.
Goals/Skills – Handlers will build on the communication skills you have worked on all week by adding basic obedience and manners in the form of fun tricks.
Goals/Skills – Handlers will continue to build on the bonding tricks, obedience, and manners skills and add loose leash healing as well as a strong “Come” recall command.
Goals/Skills – Handlers will build on the last three weeks of practice and add more games and tricks and play commands to further your bond with your dog, like get it, bring it, leave it, etc. We will help you set goals for continued success with your adopted animal.
Each week you will need to bring tools to aid in achieving the goals set for that class.
