intermediate to advanced off-leash program

This a 13-lesson course that alternates between Intermediate Obedience and Reliable Recall training and eventually transitions to more Advanced drills learning off- leash obedience. The lessons can be booked individually and once completed, the student will get a LIFETIME membership in my weekly Pack Walks which take place on Sundays @ 3pm at various locations around Niagara. Included in the price of the course is the Mini Educator remote electronic collar by Ecollar Technologies with an upgrade to titanium posts and a bungee collar strap; 15’ and 33’ long lines; a custom tab for eventual off-leash work; and a TDT T-shirt.
