Puppy Academy 2: Real-World Freedom & Focus

Puppy Academy 2 is a next-level group class designed for puppies ages 4–8 months who are ready to move beyond basic obedience and start learning how to think, choose, and engage in the real world.

In this unique long-leash course, we give puppies more freedom—because true training isn’t about restriction and restraint, it’s about teaching better decisions. Your dog will learn how to stay connected to you even at distance,  around distractions that happen in real-life environments.

This class focuses heavily on:

• Building strong engagement outdoors
• Reliable recall (coming when called, even with distractions)
• Teaching your dog to naturally follow your lead
• Developing clear visual and verbal communication
• Creating influence without the need for physical control

At CANIS, we believe control doesn’t come from holding your dog back—it comes from being inside their mind. When dogs want to cooperate, everything changes.

Puppy Academy 2 is a rare and forward-thinking program in Los Angeles, designed not just for today’s behavior—but to proactively prevent common issues like leash reactivity as your dog matures.

If you’re ready to build a deeper connection and raise a dog that chooses you, this class is your next step.
