Life Skills This is the next progression after Level Up and will really test your dog's ability to conduct themselves in a manner which is reliable and trustworthy in situations encountered in everyday life around people, at home, in public, or in the presence of other dogs. If you're thinking about getting your dog their Canine Good Neighbour or Dog Therapy Certificate, this program includes the exercises that your dog needs to master and will also prepare your dog for Novice Level Obedience trialing, if that's your goal. This is a highly advanced class that works on emergency stays, door deliveries, door etiquette, walking past food at nose level, “L” shaped heelwork, distance downs, supervised isolation, long sits and downs, recall, crowds, noise, and more. This program tests your dog's ability to perform these skills and will give you insight into what you may need to work on with your dog in order for them to be successful.
