Meeting outdoors in a natural environment, this class offers a unique approach to applying tools and skills in real life situations. We focus on enhancing the skills that handlers and dogs already have, to show the function of these skills in distracting outdoor surroundings. Through our interactive learning structure, dog guardians will gain handling techniques and tools based around clear communication and expectations of their dogs. In this class we will work on refining loose leash walking, attention to handlers in distracting environments, appropriate social interactions, choice to recall or return to handler, natural enrichment opportunities and relaxation protocols.
