  • Appropriate discipline

  • Play and how to use it in training

Basic equipment you'll need:

  • A slip lead

  • Long line (at least 5m)

Below is the training template we use for training sessions. After the first session we will focus on the specific issues or training goals you have for your dog.

Session One

Session one starts with a conversation about any specific issues you are having with your dog so we can establish your expectations and what you want from your relationship with your dog. From there we create a plan to move forward in a way that works for you and your dog. We then cover:
