Yay, Spot and Ellie!! I'll bet you two were the star pupils!!

I'm not sure if Advanced Family Manners is the same as Advanced Obedience...Around here, Advanced Obedience involves many of the same commands as basic, but totally off leash.

If it's the same, how about going for their CGC's?? (It's a "title" awarded by the AKC, Canine Good Citizen and is open to all breeds and mixes) Most training facilities hold these classes periodically! It's not TOO difficult; involves a lot of meet and greet between other humans and dogs and it's fun! Having that title allows you and Spot or Cincy or Sadie to do visits at many nursing homes, etc. It sounds as though your class is very similar to CGC class! Onward!!!!!!!!
