Workshops
Workshops for pet parents: these short workshops are designed to not only give you and your dog the skills to progress with the behaviours but to also fit in around your busy schedules.
​
Each workshop focuses on a specific behaviour and breaks it down. We work on each element and build them together to succeed with the final behaviour.
​
Workshops for dog professionals: these are designed to expand your knowledge and help you stand out from the crowd with business boosting ideas.
During the workshops there will be the opportunity to purchase top quality treats, chews, toys, and training equipment.
Loose-Lead Walking
Making walking enjoyable again.

Do you feel you have one arm longer than the other?
Feeling like walking is more of a battle than a time to enjoy together?
​
If you can relate to this then this workshop is for you. A two week intensive workshop on Loose-Lead Walking. Through training this behaviour by breaking it down, using positive reinforcement and scientifically proven methods we will transform your walks to that enjoyable outing we all imagine it will be.

Week 1 is Pet Parents ONLY inside to learn about appropriate socialisation, body language, play dynamics, and polite greetings.
This is NOT for dogs who are 'dog aggressive', this is design for dogs who have issues with focus, mild frustration, excitement, and dogs who don't get the opportunity to meet many others.
