Adventure Dog
Adventure Dog is KissAble Canine’s latest class. We are excited to be offering this class through the summer and fall. This class is focused on generalizing your dog’s social manners and responsiveness to obedience cues in the great outdoors.
Dogs should be performing at an intermediate level of obedience. This means that they can respond reliably to: their name, sit, down, stay and come.
There are three types of adventures:Urban Warrior– Class is held in a more urban part of the DC metro area. There will be exposure to people, traffic, other dogs (not in the class), and the hustle and bustle of the Nation’s Capitol.
Nature Lover– Had enough with the fast pace of the week? This class is held in a park or rural setting with the lure of squirrels, rustling leaves and the smell of the great outdoors!
Adventure Extreme- These are overnight excursions where you and your canine have time to get away together. This adventure includes meals, lodging, canine fun and games.
All adventures are for dogs with no aggression issues or significant anxiety to public settings. Dogs must be fully vaccinated and will require proof of rabies.
Registration: To register for any of the classes please submit your payment as this reserves your spot in the class. You will then be forwarded a registration form (if a new KissAble Canine student) and additional details.
