Stress Free Walks Why is it so hard for our dogs to walk nicely with us? Because it’s just not fun! Squirrels are fun, rabbits are fun, things that move are fun! Another dog coming towards them maybe fun or may be worrying. It’s all a question of what your dog is reacting to. Is it the environment or you? The goal is that they react to you instead of what’s happening around them. In this 6 week program, we'll give you the tools and knowledge through games based concept training so that we create more stress free walks! This program works on disengagement from the environment, engagement with you, value in proximity, focus on you, flexibility, confidence (this is one many dogs lack and the reason why they react to other dogs while out on a walk), optimism and more. The games work on on reshaping your dog's brain so they want to hang out with you instead of the environment. We'll also share with you the science behind how and why the games work to produce real-life results. You will need to bring your dog's bed, mat or elevated bed to this class. Spectators are allowed at our Hwy 7 location, but they must remain outside of the fenced training area. Please feel free to bring a chair. Spectators are not allowed at our Ajax location. Prerequisite: Dogs must be friendly around other dogs.
