This class is meant for you to have fun with your dog as well as building their confidence. It will help improve your communications skills with your dog, as well as building your dog’s problem-solving skills all through activities designed to stimulate your dog’s drive to “hunt” and “search” that is instinctive in all dogs. As you learn to work as a team you and your dog will build a stronger bond while understanding your dog’s body language and encourage your dog physically and mentally all while playing a game of search for their favorite treats.  Dog must be able to safely work around people and other dogs.
