LIFE SKILLS FOR ALL
Continuation Courses

(5 session course - 45 minutes each session)

For owners and dogs who have completed a foundation course or specialist education, if it is considered appropriate for the dog.

 Having a well behaved dog is a life-long process and we are happy to provide further classes either to continue working on specific individual issues, or if you wish, to help your dog gradually learn how to cope in the presence of other dogs.  We can also introduce you and your dog to the pleasures of mental stimulation, including tracking and nose work when you are ready.

In addition we can offer you the means of developing your dog’s social skills. We aim to ensure that your dog continues to have good interaction with people and other dogs whilst maintaining their self confidence, good decision making and ability to deal with events that arise unexpectedly e.g. meeting joggers, mountain bikers, family groups and so on. We show you how to react to diffuse situations if a dog is a bit too exuberant or perhaps a little grumpy and how to encourage your dog to enjoy the experience of being out with other dogs, but still able to focus on you.

These classes take place out of doors usually on Cannock Chase, so suitable clothing is strongly advised.
