The Course
I focus on the foundational skills that every well-behaved dog should have. Whether you're a first-time dog owner or looking to refine your canine companion's manners, this course is designed to help you and your dog build a strong, respectful relationship through positive reinforcement and effective training techniques.
It's exciting to see the positive changes in your dog, leading to a more enjoyable relationship. Let's get started on the path to a well-behaved, happy dog!
What you will learn
When I set out to create this course, I meticulously considered what would be the most effective and engaging way to instil a comprehensive understanding of obedience from the ground up. I poured my experience and insights into every module, ensuring each lesson builds on the last, shaping a well-organized and intuitive learning journey for you.
