Life Skills for Dogs: 4-week course in the real world

Dogs of all ages are invited to join me every week for 4 weeks at a range of locations in North Tyneside where we work as a small group of 4 (more than one adult is welcome to join you and your dog, as well as children as long as you take full responsibility for them and they do not approach anyone else's dog).

This isn't about obedience. This is about helping your dog to be a dog in a human world. This is about confidence. This is about setting them and you up for success.

We will work on:

Loose lead walking

Being around other dogs

Settling in different areas

Mental stimulation

Scent work

Going into shops/ cafes

And more.

Dogs must be in a harness (ideally a y-shaped harness) but if they need to be on a collar, the lead must remain loose at all times.

Slipleads, martingale collars, choke chains, shock collars, prong collars, grot collars, head collars and anything else that tightens around a dog's neck or throat are not allowed.
