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 and TALKS 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.

HELP - MY DOG IS REACTIVE! - Wednesday, 10th September - TALK

Does your dog sometimes lunge, bark or snap at other dogs, people, wildlife or livestock? Or does your dog try to chase cars, lorries or bicycles? If you'd like to know why your dog does this and how you can improve things, then this TALK is for you. It is a deep dive into what reactivity is, what causes it, how you can manage it and how you can start changing your dog’s behaviour. It won’t just be a one-way lecture - though I could happily talk about this topic for hours - but it will be interactive where you can ask questions and we can discuss various scenarios that you are dealing with.  £25 / £20 for WTDT Members
