1/2 Day Loose Lead Walking Workshops
Is your dog pulling on the lead and making walks stressful?
Join our Loose Lead Walking Workshop and learn effective, positive techniques to make walks enjoyable for both you and your dog.
What you’ll learn:
· Why dogs pull and how to prevent it
· Practical exercises for calm, controlled walking
· Tips for reinforcing good habits
Who is it for?
Dog owners who want a more relaxed and enjoyable walking experience.
We meet at our indoor venue where we get to know you and your dogs. We then will formulate the methods that work best with your dog. Note: All methods are kind and do NOT rely on old fashioned punitive tools like slip leads, head collars, choke chains or half chokers. Everybody gets the chance to practise the methods in the venue where there are limited distractions. We then move to the great outdoors, where after a short break and refreshments, we will get chance to progress the skills and proof them in the real world.

What You and Your Dog Will Learn:
This workshop is designed for dogs of all ages, breeds, and skill levels, focusing on positive reinforcement and clear communication.

1/2 Day Scentwork Workshop
Huge fun for your dog with massive benefits
Our Scentwork Workshop consists of an introduction to scentwork where we will teach your dog to use its awesome nose to great effect. We will conduct indoor searches and sniff out hidden items at our training hub in Hednesford and even complete a car search before breaking for refreshments and moving to Cannock Chase where we take it to the next level in the wild outdoors including an introduction to tracking.
Great fun and huge benefits for the wellbeing of your dog……. and useful for when you lose your keys too!
'Understanding Reactivity and Aggression' Seminar
Half of the battle of owning reactive dogs is understanding them.
You're not alone. Dog reactivity is a common challenge, but it doesn't have to define your walks. Your dog isn't giving you a hard time; they are having a hard time.
Our 'Understanding Reactivity in Dogs' Seminar is a dog free seminar aimed at pet parents and professionals who want to learn the motivations behind their dog's behaviour and practical ways to manage it using science-backed, positive reinforcement methods.
What You'll Learn:
-
The "Why": Understand the root causes of reactivity (fear, frustration, over-arousal).
-
Body Language Basics: Learn to recognise subtle stress signals before an outburst occurs (nose-licking, blinking, tense posture).
-
Practical Strategies: Discover effective games and protocols like counter-conditioning and desensitisation to build your dog's confidence.
-
Trigger Management: Learn the importance of distance and managing the environment to keep your dog below their "threshold".
Don't punish the behaviour; understand the emotion. Take the first step toward less stressful walks today.
