Level 2 ClassesWe Make Training Fun for You and Your Dog!
Every dog and handler will have achieved different results after the completion of our Basic Manners class, depending on their individual skills, the time they had available for training, and their selection of priority behaviors. Our Level 2 classes have been designed to allow you to choose the areas where you would like to concentrate your efforts. Each class consists of a 2.5 hour orientation for human handlers, followed by five weeks of 45 minutes of instruction for handlers and their dogs. If you have any questions, please talk to your Basic Manners instructor, as they may be able to guide you towards the workshop that is most applicable for your individual situation. You may take one or both of these workshops, and need not take them in any specific order. Prerequisites for Level 2 Workshops: completion of GAKS Basic Manners course and/or pre-approval of GAKS training staff.
