Methodology

Fido Finishing School instructors use a reward-based training method, where dogs are first taught and rewarded for correct responses to commands. As the dogs become more proficient with the basic vocabulary, they are given more responsibility for responding quickly and reliably.

Our Students

Many Fido Finishing School canine alumni have gone on to very successful careers including Service Dog, Search and Rescue, Conformation, Tracking, Herding, Field Trials, Earthdog Trials, Therapy Dog, Agility, Obedience, and last but not least, as Man's Best Friend.
