Advanced Field Trip is one of Fido’s seasonal classes. The majority of this course is held outside (where there are other dogs, people, cars, and oh no! squirrels!) and in Michigan, this means that we have approximately 8 days where we can count on the weather cooperating with us. And even then we have to pack sunglasses, an umbrella, snow boots, and possibly an ice pick just in case.
Okay, that’s not entirely true. The weather is tolerable a few months out of the year if you’re not a big whiner (like me), so spring through fall we offer this 4 week course.
Farley, Buster, Darby, Maddy, and Gracie all braved the elements to learn how to pay attention when outdoors and around distraction. We reviewed our “By Me” cues, firmed up the “Watch” command, and went over what to do when our dog reacts, then hit the streets!
Around the neighborhood and to the park, then to Royal Oak for a walk along the busy streets and an ice cream treat!




We are SUPER proud of all of you! Go ahead, tell your friends about how well behaved your dogs are in public, you’ve earned bragging rights!

If you’re interested in taking an outdoor class before the snow flies, check our calendar and call soon!
PS. Thanks, Monty, for filling in for me while I was out of town!
