WORKSHOPS & TALKS
Intensive structured sessions with laser focus on one training area
If you are looking to address your dog's training issue and your general training either at home or in classes just isn't quite getting you the results you want and need? Then workshops are a great way to focus on one issue and create improvement by learning to understand your dog's behaviours and what drives them and by helping you with practical exercises to teach your dog the skills he needs to make the desired progress.
