Debrief & Refresh
We explain how your dog responded and recommend a refresher 1 to 2 times a year to keep the training sharp.
"After training, our first occasionally ran into snakes on trails, and would not approach them at all. She often let us know there was a snake up ahead, before we knew it ourselves. It's a must for dog owners who love their fur babies!"
