Advanced Canine College Level 2

To participate in these classes dogs need to have graduated from Canine College Level 1 and maintained that level of obedience.

A large part of the class is run "off lead" and the dogs must focus on their owners, ignoring what the other dogs are doing.

This challenging course may not be suitable for all dogs, classes should be a happy experience for our dogs, not a trial.

Dogs that have completed the Level 2 course may continue training towards the Delta Canine Good Citizens Award.

For more information on this advanced course, or to discuss your dog's suitability to participate, please call us and ask to speak to Gayl O'Grady.
