Some of the previous workshops:-

Fun and Tricks
Has training the dog become boring? Do your children not take an interest in the dog anymore? Teaching your dog to do some tricks is an excellent way to enhance the bond between you and your dog and the children and the dog. Furthermore trick training can provide essential mental stimulation for your dog.


Walking on a loose lead
Does your dog pull on a lead? This workshop will provide you with techniques that will enable you to control your dog when out on a lead walk. Using kind and effective techniques and with a little patience and hard work you can gain the skills that will enable your dog to learn that walking next to you is rewarding.


Preparation for Bonfire night – helping your frightened dog
Ever year many owners dread bonfire night due to their dogs behaviour in response to the sound of fireworks. Not only is it extremely up setting for the owners of the dogs to see them become so worked up at the sound of fireworks but the distress that the dogs do through is a welfare issue. Therefore it is essential that owners seek help for their dog.

This workshop will provide owners with tips to help reduce their dogs reaction to fireworks and thus anxiety leading up to and during the bonfire night period.
