Yes, we have been doing that. He isn't perfect but he's getting the hang of it.

We did a short class locally before I did much research on the subject, like a puppy pre-school. It was just basics. We are starting another course April 1st that lasts for 6 weeks and then he's enrolled in another, more in depth training course, and then I'm still deciding which class to take next. They have agility, tracking, and Rally training classes.
