This class is the next step after our Top Dogs Level 2 course. This section of Top Dogs 3 will continue to teach your dog to work around other dogs while simultaneously offering an opportunity to learn parkour tricks with your dog that you can take out into the world. Parkour (sometimes referred to as urban agility) involves interacting with the environment in a number of fun ways, such as going on, under, into, through, over, and between items on cue.
Each section of this class will continue to teach focus and improve your dog's ability to work around other dogs through a different sport or activity. You and your dog will develop new skills, improve your relationship and communication, and just plain have fun together! While your dog is having fun, we will be continuing their counter-conditioning and desensitization journey so that they finish class not only more proficient at specific skills, but more relaxed around other dogs in general.
NOTE: This in-person class is for graduates of the Top Dogs Level 2 class, or by approval of the instructor. Please be sure to respond to the introductory email you will receive before the first meeting.
