What is it?

Next Level Obedience is a compilation of obedience activities that are above and beyond what we normally expect of our dogs. During this set of classes we will introduce things like off-leash heeling, hand signals, retrieving, jumps, distance stays, and one or two pieces of agility equipment. 

Why do it?

For fun! But also to provide your dog with new challenges that will help them (and you!) combat the cold winter months. In addition to that, this class gives you the opportunity to continue to develop an incredibly close bond with your dog while you navigate new obstacles and methods of communication. 

Who can come?

Anyone who has attended a "Beginner" level class (i.e. Real World Obedience Foundations) or the equivalent is more than welcome to attend! Additionally, anyone who has attended the Being Brave Confidence Building Obedience class is welcome to join as well!

If you have attended a basic obedience class outside of Paws Republic and wish to sign up for Next Level Obedience we would ask that you email training@pawsrepublic.ca and chat first (just to make sure you've got a good grasp on the things that we require of the dogs in this class)! 

This class will continue to utilize our ACT philosophy which incorporates fair and appropriate corrections as a compliment to lots and LOTS of praise!  As always, our goal is to continue the development of enjoyable four-legged family members you love to live with (and who love to live with you) in addition to introducing new commands, experiences, and ideas for you to try with your furry companion.

Attending dogs must be up to date on vaccinations - including rabies - and must not be experiencing any major behavioural concerns at the time that class begins. 

Please email training@pawsrepublic.ca if you would like to find out about options for dogs who are experiencing any behavioural challenges so that we can provide you with assistance prior to signing up for a group class!

Please Note: Dogs that have not reached full physical maturity are welcome to attend (it's a great time to start imprinting some of these behaviours!) however we will be limiting their jumping or any other potentially high impact component of the class in order to ensure that their developing joints are not compromised. They will still be able to participate in all activities, we will just adjust jump heights, etc. to size appropriate heights! 

Space will be limited to a maximum of  5 dogs with one handler per dog. 

A deposit of $50 will be required to reserve your spot with the remaining amount due on or before the date of the first class.

We can't wait to see you there!
