Nature Dog 3

The Ultimate Off-Leash Adventure Course

Nature Dog 3 is the final step in developing a truly reliable off-leash companion. Building on the foundation established in Nature Dog 2, this course teaches you how to confidently manage your dog in a variety of real-world outdoor situations, using the e-collar as a backup communication tool rather than a primary means of control.

Throughout the course, you and your dog will learn:

• Advanced off-leash handling skills
• Real-world hiking etiquette and trail management
• Off-leash play while maintaining responsiveness
• Reliable recalls under high levels of distraction
• Navigating encounters with people, dogs, wildlife, and other trail users
• Maintaining engagement and connection at greater distances
• Problem-solving in unpredictable outdoor environments
• Advanced impulse control and decision-making
• Using the e-collar as a safety net for off-leash freedom
• Building confidence for longer and more challenging adventures

By the end of the course, you'll have the skills and confidence to enjoy hikes, outdoor recreation, and everyday adventures with a dog that is responsive, reliable, and capable of safely enjoying off-leash freedom.

This course runs for 3 consecutive weeks unless otherwise noted. If you miss a class, a make-up session can be scheduled at the cost of half of a private lesson.
