learned in the Click Bulls! course and preps for the
Canine Good Citizen test which will be given at the

======================

*Strut Your Stuff (SYS): -  If your dog still has
trouble with strong pulling, or leash-reaction, we
may recommend taking an additional Click Bulls!
course before you try out SYS.  SYS is a way to
build skill in ‘real world’ environments as we venture
out on training walks around town in Garwood and
Cranford.  We will work on loose leash walking,
responding to random cues in distracting
environments, and exercise our dogs all at the
same time.  In addition, this class will act as
positive public exposure to the breed as we show
off our well-mannered Pit Bulls practicing their
skills.  

Prerequisite: Click Bulls! Course

COST: $25 for 3, 1-hr classes.

See the
Calendar Page for start dates.
