This a very small group class for 8-16 year olds who want to train their own dog. You will need one child per dog (i.e. we need a consistent handler each session) and a parent/guardian to support each team. Each session we build on the last with the ultimate goal of the child "taking the lead" (literally & figuratively) by the end. There'll be lots of attention given to each child as we are in a small group. Your dog does NOT have to be fully trained to participate! Just safe with kids and other dogs. Plenty of support given.
Dogs learn: Foundation skills for a focused, happy and cooperative pup. Life skills including loose lead walking, sit, down, stay, plus fun tricks.
Kids learn: How to "speak dog" and have fun in ways both you AND your dog will enjoy. How to manage your dog safely and confidently, how to earn your dog's trust and respect, how to train fun and useful tricks, and much more.
Parents learn: how to ensure both kids and dogs are safe and happy. How to develop appropriate rules for your household, and how to support your child as they build confidence, empathy, and practical skills through dog training.
(If your dog is a puppy, is reactive, aggressive, or is very large (in comparison to your child) then may not be suitable for this programme. Please reach out to discuss!
