Life skills class this week is SOCIAL PLAY!

Saturday 16th May 12-1pm, £20 per dog at DogsDevotion centre!

Play in dogs is often a skill that is overlooked in training. Do you find yourself unsure whether you should let them off the lead when they meet another dog and feel like your dog is missing out on valuable playtime with other dogs as a result?

Join us for a small-group training session designed to help your dog build calm, confident social skills.
Your dog will learn how to interact appropriately with other dogs, while you learn how to recognise and understand key elements of canine body language.
We’ll focus on helping your dog develop positive play habits and practise polite greetings, ensuring they can enjoy safe, friendly interactions with others.

Not suitable for reactive dogs

Lots of different things from her in this but love training her!
These are all useful things that can be applied to real life:
• sit stay- when I need to be doing something or theres something arousing for her I know she will stay planted on the floor
• release word control- only goes when I say so and not when she decides!
• emergency stop- if we’re out and I see a danger I know she will stop, even mid retrieve
•recall mid retrieve- same applies, I know she will come back no matter what even if she’s started another task.
• release back to original retrieve- reminds me she’s still just a retriever who wants her god damn ball!!
