Going for brunch, visiting kids sports, relaxing at a winery, or simply want to visit public spaces, and confidently walk down the main street knowing your dog has the skills necessary to do it like a true Scholar? This course was designed with you in mind. Walking politely is one of the toughest skills to master, let alone trying that amongst the hustle and bustle of the big wide world. Not to mention being able to relax in such environments and not chase the football or running children, jump on the waitress or steal some food from your plate.
