Engagement II
This class is designed as a continuation of foundational engagement skills towards competition level engagement skills. Our teaching format for this class is best suited for handlers and dogs with competition level goals. We will be continuing the previously learned habits of acclimation, reward activation, and engagement with additional instruction in building constructive training sessions with new skills. Specific skills taught will vary; examples include engagement in stationary heel position, engagement in active heeling, engagement during pace changes, engagement in basic positions, engagement before entering the trial ring, etc.
Please note, crating is required. When you and your dog are not working, you may watch to learn from other dog-handler teams. Space will be available for indoor crating, or you may secure your dog in your vehicle.
Due to high demand, this class has prerequisites and enrollment is limited. If you feel this class would benefit you and your dog, please join the waitlist, and complete the registration questionnaire. The completed questionnaire will be sent to the instructors, and you will be contacted when a seat is available.
If you have any questions, please contact the instructors for this class, Bailey Howe - Bailey.k.howe@gmail.com and Courtney Hofacre - courtneyhofacre@gmail.com.

The mission of GCOC is to teach the handler successful methods of training which will result in a lifelong bond with their dog. Our goal is to provide a safe environment that will encourage the learning process. GCOC does reserve the right to excuse or recommend another type class for any dog who is disruptive or whose learning threshold has been exceeded.
NOTE: GCOC follows CDC guidelines. At this time masks are required. We will adjust our policy according to the level of the virus in the area. Thank you for your cooperation.
The Greater Columbia Obedience Club will refund fees paid for a class, minus a $15 administration fee, if cancellation occurs at least five days prior to the first day of class. If cancellation is requested after that period, but the available slot can be filled from the class wait list, the payment minus the $15 administration fee, will be refunded. No refund will be paid if the slot cannot be filled, or the class begins. GCOC recognizes that extenuating circumstances may occur. In this event, an application may be made to the Training Director for a review of the situation. Such occurrences as a bitch in heat, death in the family illness of canine or trainer will be considered.
