Skill Builders is the entry level class designed to teach general good manners in the home and the foundation necessary for more advanced training.
Connection Boosters provides that more advanced training and focuses on the skills and relationship enabling a dog to join their owner anywhere dogs are allowed, from outdoor restaurants to off-leash hikes or city walks.
