It was a PLEASURE training with your pooch today and we look forward to continuing to help you achieve your goals, skills and improve your relationship.

Your journey does not end here, it has only just begun!

"I trained hard, I played hard! Please find below the skills we worked on and my results. I look forward to showing you what I learnt and working on them more with you!" If you have any questions about the skills we trained please feel free to contact todays trainer."

Skill Comment We focused on Grade
Skill learnt: Loose Lead (No pull) Comment: This session we worked on his loose lead walking outside in the carpark. We worked on building his engagement and manners on lead with no dog distractions around. Since the environment was already so distracting we didn’t want to push him over threshold with more distractions! He did well to engage with the trainer, settling in to the walk and responding well to our movements. Make sure to set him up for success, if working in a more challenging environment - go back to basics and reward frequently. Focus: Distraction C+
Skill learnt: Drop/ Down Comment: This session we worked in the classroom around some calm dog distractions. It took him a while to settle but the trainer kept him moving up and down the classroom, using treats to gain his focus (dropping treats on the floor to redirect attention). Once he stopped barking we used his drop skill and rewarding him each time he was quiet or looked at the dog without barking. He was able to settle and would occasionally glance at the dog but then back to the trainer. Focus: Distraction C+
Skill learnt: Place Training Comment: The last session today we worked on some place training, doing lots of quick repetitions on and off the bed - keeping him engaged and interested. He only barked at the other dog in the room once and we were able to redirect his focus quickly and he recovered well! Once he was really engaged we increased the duration and allowed him the choice to look at the other dog, rewarding him each time he did - changing his mindset (looking at the dog is a positive experience not negative). When he looked at the other dog we said a clear “yes” and rewarded him. Focus: Distraction C+
