Extended Stays: Extend the duration of "sit" and "down" stays, helping your dog remain patient and composed for longer periods.

Heel Work: Refine your dog's loose leash walking skills and teach them to walk politely beside you, both on and off-leash.

Recall Refinement: Strengthen your dog's recall so they come back reliably when called, even in distracting environments.

Stay with Distractions: Train your dog to maintain their stay even when faced with various distractions, such as other dogs, people, or tempting objects.

Directional Cues: Teach your dog to respond to directional cues, like "left," "right," "back," or "forward," which can be useful in agility or advanced obedience exercises.

Emergency Stop: Train your dog to stop immediately and come to you when you give a specific command, which can be crucial for their safety.

Advanced Tricks: Teach your dog more complex tricks and behaviors, such as spin, bow, crawl, or even learning to tidy up their toys.

Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Certification: Prepare your dog for the Canine Good Citizen test, which evaluates their obedience and manners in various real-life scenarios.

Problem-Solving and Focus Work: Work on advanced problem-solving exercises and activities to challenge your dog mentally and strengthen their focus and attention.
