LIFE SKILLS FOUNDATION COURSE

STEP BY PAW-STEP

This course aims to help you during those times when you may need a bit of extra support with your dog. Dogs of any age can go through ‘wobbly’ periods and we’re here to help you both find a way through those times.

The course covers the following:

Over excitement, such as jumping-up, overly boisterous play and inability to settle
Over-excitement around people and/or dogs
Basic training skills, such as recall and loose lead walking
Anxiety travelling in the car (where your dog seems reluctant to get in the car, and/or trembles in the car, and/or has motion sickness).
Mild separation anxiety
Over-excitement between your dog and other family pets
