Proof and Progress

Take the skills your dog already knows and make them work in real lifeLearning a skill at home or in a quiet training class is only the beginning.Proof and Progress is for you and your dog if you already have some training foundations and want to develop them around greater distraction, movement, excitement and everyday challenges.We work on useful real-life skills such as recall, loose lead walking, focus, settling, self-control and responding when other things are competing for the dog’s attention.This is not about endlessly making exercises harder. Dogs learn best when we give them achievable challenges and gradually build their ability to cope with more.
