Distractions 101 Workshops
With the pandemic having limited our options for bringing our dogs to new places, many of us are struggling with dogs who are great at home and with family but are highly distracted and over-energized when we take them outside the house.
Now is a great time to take the opportunity to learn some strategies for improving your dog’s behavior in new settings and around distractions. Make progress on your goal of having a well-mannered dog you can take more places with less stress!

Bonding & Trust Workshop
We all love our dogs deeply, so we all want to build our dogs' trust in us throughout their whole lives. We want our dogs to understand that we are trustworthy, kind, and always ready to reward them for following our lead. As we build up that bonds with our dogs, our connection increases, our dogs' behavior becomes more reliable and prompt, and our dogs become more willing to try new things with us.

Loose Leash Workshop
Are daily walks a bit stressful instead of a relaxing time to bond with your dog? Do you wish you could take your dog more places, but once you start walking, you lose your connection? This workshop will, perhaps surprisingly, focus on not using the leash so much. Instead, it will focus on teaching your dog where to be and how to stay connected to you, whether he's literally hooked in or not.
