Intermediate Obedience
Expand Your Dog’s Reliability and Control
Expand your dog’s reliability and confidence beyond basic obedience into more advanced, real‑world responsiveness.
Intermediate Obedience is designed to bridge the gap between foundational obedience and more independent performance. This program introduces off-leash work and the proper use of training tools, such as an electronic collar, in a way that builds confidence, control, and clarity. As your dog becomes more responsive, you’ll both enjoy greater freedom with reliable behavior in diverse environments. This course also prepares teams for the AKC-accredited CGCA (Canine Good Citizen Advanced) and CGCU (Canine Good Citizen Urban) tests, helping ensure your dog can perform reliably in both advanced and urban public settings. Testing is available for an additional $50.
