Life Skills Subscription

After setting a solid groundwork of skills learned in a set length Level 1 course, Life Skills Level 2 & 3 transition into a subscription based framework. Each dog (and human) learn at different speeds, based on their experiences and schedules, so we wanted to make our course on life skills accommodating to life's variations.

​

To register for Life Skills Level 2 & 3, you now purchase a Life Skills Subscription which renews every month for as long as you wish to remain in the program. Each month you will have two chances a week to attend a class. If you have to miss a class, you will have another chance to work on the focus for that session in a future class! Participants will receive the Life Skills Ultimutt Checklist which the trainer will sign off on once a skill is strong enough to move on to the next level or to complete the program. 

​

Completion of Life Skills Level 1 through Raising Fido is required before purchasing a Life Skills Subscription and joining Level 2.
