Intermediate Obedience Training

Keeping the Dog and Handler in Top Mental Shape

The Dog Obedience Classes-Intermediate Obedience Training is for dogs that are 6 months or older and can respond to commands learned in Puppy Training, in Basic Obedience Training (Beginner Training) or Comparable Skill Level including Sit, Stay, Com, Wait for barriers, and Basic Leash Training.

This 5-week class builds on the dog basic obedience course and continues to strengthen the training your dog has already received. We will focus on the following basic skills with added requirements of distraction, duration, and distance:

Sit, Down, Stay
Loose Leash Walking
Go to Place
Come When Called
Polite Greetings

The training will enable the handler and the dog to do these behaviors and progressively challenging situations, including:

Longer Period of Time
High-Level Distractions
More Distance

The dog and the handler will perform the behaviors in more complex situations and gain reliability, consistency and confidence.

Yazmin Lopez

My name is Yazmin,

I was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico.

Since I was a child I have always loved dogs and becoming a dog trainer now is like a dream come true.

My duty as a trainer is to not only build a strong bond between owners and their pets, but to educate them on the method of positive reinforcement training and behavior modification. This is my way of contributing a little to society by making dogs great furry family members.

In addition to my contribution to society, I volunteered for two years in Nuevo León, Mexico for an animal shelter. My experience also extends to agility training.

My husband and I founded a pet care and BARF food company back home in Mexico. We live, breath, and sleep dogs and dedicated our lives to making the world a better place by training these extraordinary animals.
