Outdoor Distractions
This course is in the great outdoors, on location at various sites throughout Chicago (e.g., at parks, at the beach, and on the sidewalk). It focuses on helping your dog follow your direction, even in the face of distractions. We also create real-world exercises such as walking down an actual sidewalk without pulling.
