Advanced Handler, previously known as Off Leash Level 1, is your first step to having an off-leash dog. This course will build on the existing knowledge and obedience skills of you and your dog, now at a greater distance and under higher distractions. You will continue your basic commands, now off-leash along with learning new and modified versions that are specific to the safety of your dog and allow for proper control of an off-leash dog.

The Master Handler course is exactly what it sounds like. A Master Class for the most dedicated handler and dog teams. This is the final program of the obedience trilogy offered at Marley’s Misfits in which you will master your handling skills and solidify the strongest relationship with your dog.
Dogs that graduate from this program stand out from all the rest. This is due to the diligence and consistency that the handler-dog team has provided to yield exceptional results. In this program, we finalize and master all previously learned exercises in Functional Foundations & Advanced Handler. All handler-dog teams are both reliable and consistent in their behavior and obedience both on and off-leash ranging from mild to extreme distractions, stimuli and environments You and your canine companion will have the earned skills and abilities to relax and enjoy all real-world scenarios: camping, patios, hiking, road trips, family and friend gatherings, weddings, etc.
