These provide an opportunity to practice in a group setting and get additional help following the completion of a Stay and Train program. Classes are loosely structured and can be tailored to specific issues coming up at home, or could include activities like obstacle courses, pack walks at parks or on trails, obedience games, and mock obedience competitions.
