WORKSHOP
Info
What to expect
All dates and times are subject to change depending on the weather.
What we will be working on:
Polite Greetings - for the first ~15 minutes, you and your dog will have a designated spot to settle in. While you're working on handler engagement, I will approach you and practice polite greetings (all 4 on the floor, not barking or pulling).
Come When Called - After that exercise, owners will take the dogs for a sniff break. While keeping a distance from the other dogs, we will work on recall as they are exploring.
Leash Walking - Final ~15 minutes of training will focus on loose leash walking!
