It's time to up your game...
For dogs who like toys...
Proper play can be game changing for your relationship and can help ensure your dog feels satiated and biologically fulfilled while bringing some serious motivation to your training.
That said, there are common mistakes people make when playing with toys that can actually create tremendous frustration. These mistakes can make it tricky to use toys in training, and can even cause conflict and create or exacerbate behavior problems in every day life.
Whether you want to use toys more effectively in your training, you want to give your dog a healthy, fulfilling outlet for play, or you have a really motivated dog but you're struggling with other behavior challenges, learning the mechanics of proper toy play can be game changing.
What you'll get:
- Welcome Reception (9/20 @ 5pm)
- Two full days of training (9/21 & 9/22 starting at 9am)
- An assessment of your specific dog and their motivations
- A customized training plan to help you create fulfilling play experiences while working towards your specific training goals
