Off-Leash Skills, Recall, and Real-World Choice

This course blends:

  • Strong recall foundations

  • Managing prey drive and environmental distractions

  • Teaching dogs to check in, disengage, and return

  • Handler skills for freedom with safety

Group Hiking Skills & Independent Choice in the Real World

GRIT is a collaborative course designed to help dogs navigate hiking and outdoor adventures — calmly, politely, and safely — while moving in a group.

Developed alongside experienced colleagues, GRIT focuses on:

  • Trail etiquette and group movement

  • Independent but thoughtful choice-making

  • Emotional regulation around people, dogs, and wildlife

  • Handling strategies for shared outdoor spaces

This course is ideal for teams who want their dogs to hike with them — not just near them.

Launch: June 2026 (Summer)

Confidence, Curiosity, and Communication Through Scent

This course will introduce:

  • Foundational scentwork skills

  • Clear start-line and search behaviors

  • Confidence building through success

  • Enrichment that translates to everyday life

Nosework is appropriate for dogs of all ages and mobility levels — and is especially powerful for anxious or high-arousal dogs.
