JUNIOR ADVANCED
Our Junior Advanced courses are designed for young dogs who have mastered Puppy Progress 2 and need a bigger challenge: working towards off lead control. Everything your young dogs have tackled so far in classes will now be attempted off lead, making them even more susceptible to the distractions around them.
With off the lead work comes a real emphasis on distance work, including recalls and leave it’s that are far more challenging than those you have done before. So, to build your confidence in tackling the real world, all our exercises will be accompanied by new visual and audible distractions to test your pup’s self-restraint. Their ability to focus and remain committed to the task at hand can be difficult to maintain with so many distractions, so we do our best to replicate those distractions in a safe controlled environment. We introduce lots of smelly, exciting items to practise the leave it command with and will often lay out a gauntlet of these to recall your dogs through, around and even over!
Many of our existing clients have chosen to repeat this course, loving the variety of class work and mini at home challenges we provide.
As always, we are more than happy to work with you on a 1:1 basis if your pups have a particular fondness for pheasants or fox poo (our favourite!) you can’t tear them away from. Some of the other challenges we are frequently asked to cover include chasing bikes, footballs, horses and rabbits.
