This virtual course delivered via Zoom is designed for those that live with multiple dogs and struggle to train them together.
It is great for those that want to have some fun with their dogs, live remotely or have pooches that find the outdoor world or class scenario overwhelming.
During the 6 week course we will cover station/mat training, games to create engagement and various exercises for individuals as well as teaching the dogs to comfortably wait their turn.
Each lesson will be 45-60 minutes.
We will play focus games and implement skills especially useful for the multiple dog household.
During the process we will have lots of fun, practice calm behaviours and high arousal behaviours and switching between the two.
Playing confidence building games and impulse control games will help your dogs to make better choices.
Throughout the 6 week course you can choose your location for training. To begin with I would start in low arousal and distraction areas, but with time you will be able to move this to more distracting locations.
There is no age limit for this course. Course cost is very affordable at $150 for 6 weeks.
