Hounds Around Town - Dog Public Manners and Skills Class Hosted by Long Dog Inc.

HOUNDS AROUND TOWN
Where “my dog listens at home” gets politely… exposed in public 😏
If your goal is a dog that can actually function in the real world—not just your living room—this is your class.
This isn’t your average obedience class.
This is a skills lab in motion.
We take it out of the training field and into real life:
Crowds. Distractions. Sidewalks. Stores. Farmer’s markets. Chaos (the good kind).
Think:
👉 Fast-paced Simon Says
👉 A little Amazing Race energy
👉 Real-world obedience under pressure
Because let’s be honest…
If it only works at home, it doesn’t actually work.
🔥 What You’ll Be Doing:
• Rapid-fire commands that challenge focus
• Real-life drills that build reliability
• Pushing your dog’s skills further than you thought possible
• Learning how to stop babysitting your dog in public
This is where dogs become Public Access Ready.
🐕 Who It’s For:
Dogs of all ages and levels
✔ Pet dogs who need better manners in public
✔ Working dogs & service dog candidates
✔ Teams ready to level up past “basic obedience”
Reactivity is welcome with prior approval.
⚠️ Requirements (aka don’t show up like it’s a free-for-all):
• Dogs must be under control
• No perfection required—but engagement is
• Handlers should be ready to participate, move, and have fun
🎒 What to Bring:
• Properly fitted collar or harness
• 6 ft leash and/or traffic lead
• A sense of humor (you’ll need it)
🚫 Retractable leashes = hard no
🔑 First Steps:
Reactivity cases require a phone consultation with Heather or prior training
💥 Why People Love This Class:
• No two classes are ever the same
• Open enrollment = drop in when it works for you
• Flexible class size
• Real progress you can actually use outside your front door
