Description
Join Uncle Stonnie for an off-leash hiking class with 4 clients and 9 dogs.
We start with the formal work at the main campus, then move to the pre-adventure area to lock in range control, recalls, and the habits that keep dogs safe around other dogs, people, and changing terrain. The goal is simple: off-leash reliability that holds up when the environment gets busy.
If you want a dog that can hike, work, and live off-leash without becoming a liability, this is the progression we use.
