Level A- Foundation Building: We consider the dog's foundation to be the A.B.C. blocks upon which all commands rest. These include: dogs name, come, sit, down, and stay. It is after the foundation is laid that we can continue to build upon these blocks and begin manner and distraction training. Dogs 4 Life understands that frustrated dogs develop problematic behaviors, and it is at this level of training can we begin to eliminate these behaviors and replace them with a more desired result.

Level B-Distraction and Manner Training: Once we have laid the foundation and set our expectations through Level A training, we can then progress to Manner Training which includes: Jumping on people, furniture, and counter surfing. At this level of training we can also begin Distraction Training, which can include: door greeting, leash walking, introducing a new family member, human or canine. It is this level that we can also address possession aggression, dog aggression and people aggression. More
