fundamentals of dog
training and behavior 2

take your skills to the next level


Exclusively for Fundamentals 1 graduates, this advanced program builds on your foundation, guiding you deeper into Cesar Millan’s core principles of pack leadership. With a strong focus on energy, intention, and body language, this immersive experience challenges you to embody the true essence of calm, confident leadership.

hANDS-ON LEARNING WITH SHELTER DOGS


To ensure the most dynamic and immersive experience, student dogs are not part of this program. Instead, you’ll work hands-on with a variety of dogs from Los Angeles-area rescues, gaining the opportunity to address real-world behavior challenges while refining your skills.

Because these dogs are often unfamiliar to Cesar before the workshop, each interaction presents a unique learning opportunity—allowing you to assess, evaluate, and apply techniques in real time within an authentic training environment.

key focus areas:

Deepen your understanding of Cesar’s Four Worlds philosophy.
Master the ability to assess and evaluate dog behavior in real-world scenarios.
Apply advanced techniques in energy, intention, and body language.
