Workshops
I have a variety of workshops that offer deep dives into specific topics of dog training. From lead walking, recall and teenager focused workshops, to fun ones and introductions to sports.
These are a great option for owners looking to work on one aspect of their dog's training and those who find it hard to attend weekly classes. Most workshops come with access to an online version of the workshop filled with the covered training in video format.

Are you a bit worried about how your dog will manage on bonfire night?
This workshop is designed to give your dog a good mental workout to help them feel tired and relaxed for an evening of sleep. During the 3 hours of the workshop, I'll be teaching your dogs some great mentally stimulating activities and problem solving games that are great for every day use and an ideal replacement for physical exercise for decompression days or times you can't go for a walk.
​
This workshop will not solve your dog's noise sensitivities, but is designed to have your dog primed for wanting a deep sleep and rest in the evening. Each participant will also be given a guide in the lead up to Bonfire Night for how they can best create the right environment for their dog.
