This virtual course delivered via Zoom is designed for those that want to work with their dogs and grow their confidence.
This class is designed for all dogs - from puppy to adult with no lower or upper age limits.
During the 6 week course we will teach your dog skills for engagement and coping, provide challenges, teach husbandry and body awareness as well as introduce various enrichment each week.
The class is designed to build confidence, trust and engagement. We will challenge each dog as an individual and grow their skills each week. Each lesson will be adapted to suit the individuals in class.
Throughout the 6 week course you can choose your location for training. I would always start inside in a low arousal and low distraction environment, but you may choose to increase the challenge by modifying your environment as you go.
There is no age limit for this course. Course cost is very affordable at $150 for 6 weeks, with a maximum of 5 teams enrolled.
