This 6-week beginners course is designed to teach you the foundations of using positive reinforcement to train your dog.

During this course you will learn:

How dogs learn
How to use a marker to capture behaviour
How to teach your dogs new skills using positive reinforcement
How we can teach our dogs alternate behaviours to prevent behaviours we don't like

By the end of the 6-week course, we aim for your dog to be able to perform the following skills:

✅ A down-stay while you walk away several feet

✅ A nose-to-hand touch from distance

✅ Recall at the end of a long-lead

✅ Walk around an obstacle circuit on a loose lead

✅ Go to their designated 'place' (bed, mat, etc) on cue

Please bring:

Your dog!
A basic flat lead - preferably 1.2-1.8 meters in length. Please no flexi-leads, retractable leads or bungee leads
A flat collar or a harness
A treat pouch full of high value treats - I recommend Prime-100 dog roll which you can purchase from Petstock or Petbarn. Cooked chicken breast, cheese, or liver pieces are also a good option. Bring more treats than you think you need!
A long lead if you have one! 5-10 meters is preferable
