I believe our down/stay was more like 10 minutes and he finally went to sleep! Too funny!), about face tight by my side, recall from at least 20 feet. Billy was one of only two dogs allowed to do it off leash since he was so reliable.

I didn't inquire as to what is involved in the intermediate level as I am still not sure I can come up with the fee for it this time around. She did mention weaving in between each other and introducing other distractions that the dog will need to learn to leave it and keep working. I'm sure there are other things on the agenda too.

Thanks for asking.
