A Sporting or Classic Dog that completes this program will be:

  • Confident, focused, and have a high toy drive
  • Have their formal obedience ( here, heel, sit) and off-leash recall
  • Introduced to handling/moving to different platforms
  • Exposed to a variety of search areas, uneven services, rubble, and heights
  • Exposed to a lift and carry harness
  • Used to working around a variety of animals, including horses, goats, chickens, and other dogs.
