LIFE SKILLS
As per my live earlier (in feed here if you’d like to watch it)
This is a clip of working on the life skill of being calm around exits

It makes such a difference if a door opening has a different association for your dog. So many are used to the door opening & they rush out pulling you behind which doesn’t promote a calm walk, or they shout out into the garden barking. Neither of these “habits” sit well with me so working on exits is always a life skill I teach my dogs from puppyhood

Calm around exits is a fundamental requirement because it shapes so much of our dogs’ behaviour and I like to shape it positively into calm.

Whats on at Dobercademy?
I outline whats upcoming and Im talking about life skills which are all too often overlooked in favour of getting your dog out "obedience training" and whilst obedience has its place, without life skills obedience simply doesn't work in all places and at all times.
Drop in and have a listen - Im sure it will all make perfect sense to you

Do you keep hoping your dog will outgrow chasing squirrels, cats, or rabbits? Do you think the excitement of foxes will run its course? Or you may be struggling with your dog reacting to bikes, scooters or joggers.

If any of these hits home for you, you need to know that these problems don't disappear. In fact, the more the patterns of over-arousal and reactivity are practiced, the more intense and habitual they can become. Instead of being frustrated with your dog, why not join us in our High Prey Drive 8 week course and learn solutions for those problems you are having. You can join us for 8 weeks of concentrated learning on all aspects of prey drive: why it happens, what sets things in motion, and how can you improve life with your prey driven dog. Our course provides 8 weekly Zoom lessons, a loaded curriculum with detailed information, video demonstrations and resources that is yours to keep after completing the course, you will be provided with 8 weeks of daily support from our trainers in a private group that is only accessed by the other owners in your class. Our groups provide an excellent peer support group for the duration of your class as well. Class starts the 21st of September for 8 consecutive weeks and the cost is £250 inclusive. If you reserve your space by 1/9 you may use coupon code PREY20 for a £20 discount for Early Bird sign up! USE THIS LINK:https://portal.busypaws.app/customers/dobercademy?booking_id=2096685

What's the tea?
What left you absolutely shocked & amazed?

We know we have all been there a time or two but share with us, what has been the absolute crazy, frustrating, or just plain baffling thing that your dobermann has done. They can amaze us with their intelligence, and they can make us shake our heads in wonder of how they do what they do but there is no doubt that our dobermanns have some of the biggest personalities out there. Let's share a bit about what makes them so special!

Is Prey Drive ruining your walks with your dog?
Do you struggle with cats, foxes, squirrels or birds in your own garden even?
Have you been pulled over by your dog chasing after deer or rabbits?

Prey drive can be anything from nuisance level barking, fence running to out and out escape, dangerous explosions of chase while on leash causing us to be embarrassed, angry and even injured because of our dog's response to prey.

We know how hard it can be to get good advice and skills to be able to manage and successfully train your high prey driven dog as we have been there ourselves. We invite you to join us the 21st of September at 7:30 pm GMT for the first of our 8 week series structured specifically for Dobermanns and their owners who are dealing with problematic prey drive.

This course is comprehensive and includes 8 weekly Zoom sessions with our trainers, 8 weekly lessons which will walk you through learning why prey drive occurs, what can set it off and what you can do to help. While we encourage everyone to attend the lives, they are also recorded so that you can catch up or rewatch them if you would like. The information you receive during our course is yours to keep and return to for a refresher whenever you would like to do so. During our 8 week course you will also have the support of both of our trainers to help you with any questions and to give you feedback on your progress and training. Our private support groups are one of the best features about our courses as they give you not only trainer support but also support of other like-minded owners who are working on the same training focus as you are. Our groups are always a safe and supportive place to share your triumphs and struggles.

Until 1/9/2026 we are extending a discount offer using this code: PREY20
for £20 off our course price bringing the total to £230 for all 8 weeks of learning and support.

The sign up code is: https://portal.busypaws.app/customers/dobercademy?booking_id=2096685

Remember to use PREY20 for your discount!

See you in September!
