Connection, Cooperation & Control™ Online

Connection, cooperation and control are the hallmark of any dog/human relationship. We're proud to offer a unique approach to achieving this goal through the use of food puzzles to establish permission, focus, team work and confidence. This training system offers a practical, positive approach to learning for dogs of any age, including those who are easily distracted, overly social, or reactive to other dogs. Join an online class to make your family pet or performance dog the best he can be.  

Required Material:  Food puzzles (approximately $30) must be purchased separately.
