Foundation Skills Level 2

Be the proud parent of the dog that always gets invited back to friend’s homes, everyone in the neighbourhood is impressed by, accompanies you anywhere and everywhere, and is always up for off-leash adventures!

Practice Makes Perfectly Trained Dogs

Congratulations! You and your dog are proud graduates of Foundation Skills.

You’ve improved your confidence in handling and training, and your dog knows a lot of good skills!

But, you also know you need to get the reps in, and practice under increasingly greater distractions such as close to other dogs and people.

Let Foundation Skills Level 2 give you the accountability and the environment needed to really polish your dog’s training to a shine.

Others will notice, and you’ll be so proud of how great your dog has become!

Wouldn’t It Be Nice To…

  • Have your dog sit calmly while you have a chat with your neighbour?
  • Pass another dog on the sidewalk, while your dog remains focused on you?
  • Enjoy time on a patio while your dog settles by your feet?
  • Go for off-leash adventures, and trust you can recall them back to you?

Then, Foundation Skills Level 2 is for you and your dog!

“Foundation Skills Level 2 with When Hounds Fly has been such a great experience. Our 11 month old Golden Retriever loves coming to class and responds so well to the teaching.

We left ever more confident she will be able to become the therapy dog we would love her to be. Thank you to all the amazing instructors at When Hounds Fly who have helped us through Puppy Start Right and Foundation Skills Level 1 classes also!”
