Canine Life and Social Skills (4 Levels)
C.L.A.S.S. is an educational, 4-level evaluation program to promote training focused on the use of positive reinforcement and to strengthen relationships between humans and their canine companions.
- Puppy class = High School or H.S. (scroll up to Puppy Programs)
- Basic = B.A. For Dogs
- Intermediate = M.A. For Dogs
- Advanced = Ph.D. For Dogs
C.L.A.S.S. is about teaching and appreciating real-life, practical skills, such as walking nicely on a leash, settling down, meeting strangers, table manners, attention, and coming when called, just to name a few.
C.L.A.S.S. is the program pathway if you are looking for your dog to earn the CKC Canine Good Neighbor Certificate or if you are interested in Therapy Dog certification.
