Grade Level 3 of 8

Elementary

Reset, Done, Leave It, Off — advanced commands and impulse control for daily life.

In Elementary, dogs reinforce skills from Kindergarten while learning advanced commands and behaviors crucial for daily interactions. This stage focuses on refining obedience, improving impulse control, and enhancing social manners.

The signature commands of this level — Reset, Done, Leave It, Off — are the ones your dog will use every single day at home, on walks, and in public spaces.
