It turned out that our Gold II Award wasn’t challenging enough for some clients – they wanted more! And so the advanced challenge was born. Following on from the Gold II award we have taken elements of our obedience program and expanded the exercises. Stretching the dogs mind, teaching them to generalise, chaining behaviours, teaching scent recognition and introducing some fun tricks. This challenge was designed with the dog trainer in mind – teaching the handlers to shape behaviours, lure and capture. These are the very most skilled handlers and the most exceptional dogs. We could not be prouder of them.
