INTERMEDIATE OBEDIENCE
FUNCTIONAL OBEDIENCE
You’ve trained your dog in basic obedience, but can they keep paying attention to you in busy environments, walk by your side calmly wherever you go, sit, lay down and settle in cafe’s, restaurants and on public transport?
Building your dogs’ obedience for the Real-World can be a challenging process, cementing the relationship between you and them. With a calm and reliable companion by your side you can literally take them anywhere!
Welcome to Functional Obedience Training.
About FUNCTIONAL OBEDIENCE Training
Step into our dynamic and unique Functional Obedience Sessions, where your dog’s skills are taken to the next-level and transformed for real-world scenarios. From relaxed and peaceful obedience sessions to vibrant and demanding situations, every session presents a fresh challenge. Exclusive to DOT Academy, our week-on-week flagship classes are designed to progressively enhance your handling abilities and empower your dog with the self-assurance they need to thrive in the unpredictable world around them.
Interactive Obedience
Team up with like-minded owners to hone your skills and support your dog in building confidence training around other dogs and people. Strengthen the effectiveness of your obedience training by working together as a cohesive unit outside of the usual sheltered classroom environment.
Restaurant, Cafe & Bar
Yes, you heard right! We visit dog-friendly venues and practice good behaviour while enjoying a nice cup of coffee, a delicious meal, or a glass of your favourite tipple! Teach your dog to ‘Settle’, remain in ‘Place’ and not scream the place down when you disappear to visit the loo!
On-The-Road
Unleash you and your dogs’ potential beyond the controlled four walls of the classroom and explore the Real World! Embrace the thrill of training in real-life situations and take your obedience mastery to the next level, whether training a Sit from a distance, a Down ‘Out of Sight’ or a perfect ‘Heel’ amidst a crowd.
Trains, Boats & Planes
Well, who needs planes anyway, when you can explore the countryside and seaside with your canine companion on the Train and the Bus? We’ve got you covered to make sure your dog is ready for the noise and commotion of public transport, as well as experience some exciting adventures!
