This class is an introduction to the concepts covered more fully in the other classes. It teaches you how to begin building a working relationship with your dog so they want to be focused on you, making leash walking and recalls easier. It also cover some boundary training - teaching your dog to stay on a mat when asked, which can then be developed as a calm place to be during stressful/exciting times such as having visitors. Teaching basic positions such as a sit and down is also covered, but this is not an obedience class in the traditional sense - it is more about teaching your dog to deal with real life situations.
