The Principles of Dog Training II is a continuation of Michael Ellis’s first online course. The course picks up directly where the first course left off. In order to enroll in this course you must have taken The Principles of Dog Training I, or Obedience Intensive through the Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers.
In Michael's first course students developed a strong foundation and communication system with their dog. We are now going to build on that foundation and take your training to the next level. In this course students will learn how to take the skills learned in the first course and apply them to more advanced behaviors and situations. Students will learn how to chain exercises together in order to develop more advanced obedience behaviors. We will start by adding in the last 3 position changes that were not covered in the first course. From there you will learn how to achieve focused heeling with your dog, a formal retrieve, the jumps, advanced recall work, finishing work, and finally loose walking.
This is a 6 module course that will take 13 weeks to complete. Our interactive courses includes weekly live chats with Michael, as well as an additional live chat 4 weeks after the course is completed. In order for student to have ample time to perfect the more advanced skills we have made the modules in this course two to three weeks long.
Along with the normal course material we have added an appendix to the course that contains the following full streaming videos in their entirety: Leash Skills, Finishing Work, Focused Heeling, Training the Recall, and Training the Jumps. In other words these are the full video on demand streams that are sold separately.
