Dog Training in the Real World is an Adventure!

Ann Arbor and Canton, Michigan:  Have you ever wished there was a specialized dog training class in which you could take the skills you learned in a traditional dog training class or add distractions/socialization of other dogs to lessons learned in private in home dog training and apply them to the real world?  Well now there is, it's called "Outdoor Adventures" and it is taught by Michael Burkey, a professional Michigan dog trainer of Michael Burkey's Canine Behavioral Training.

It's purpose is to help dog owners improve their dog walking and dog obedience skills at local nature preserves, parks, and other fun places which offer beautiful scenery as well as real world distractions (wildlife, other dogs, people, various terrains, etc.)  It's a four week class which is held monthly at various locations dependent upon where class participants live.  

April 17, 2010 was the third week of the current monthly series and members visited the Cherry Hill Nature Preserve in between Canton and Ann Arbor, Michigan.  It's a beautiful wooded area with winding and slightly hilly nature trails and has a nice open grassy area as well that can serve as a beautiful scenic picture as seen here.  All of the dog teams have made great improvements in a short time.  Additionally, many of the students have been exposed to beautiful nature areas to walk their dogs which previously they did not know existed.

Register for the next Outdoor Adventure now, as space is limited.  The next four week tour begins on May 1, 2010, Saturdays at 4pm.
