🚨 New Offer! Foundations to Thrive

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

New class!

Engagement, Resilience, Emotional Regulation

Training can be so hard in the winter — classes wrap up, training barns are cold and damp, and … driving at night with the rain, snow, and ice can just plain suck.

So this year, instead of taking a December–January break for classes, I’m offering something new!

Foundations to Thrive is a 6-week online class (spread over 8 weeks) focused on the skills so many dogs are missing — playful engagement, confidence, resilience, and emotional regulation.

​
And you can do it all from home, without braving the weather (or the world, for those reactive dogs).

We’ll cover:

  • Incorporating PLAY into your training sessions
  • Games for building Resiliency
  • How to build Confidence using loopy training
  • Teaching Emotional regulation skills that transfer to the real world

There’s a short mid-class break at the end of Dec, and you’ll still have full access to the lessons and community if you want to keep playing through the holidays.

This class will be a lot of fun!

Hey friend, I had a visitor this week—a nine-week-old working line Aussie named Gator. She came over for a few hours of socialization, and we packed a lot of learning into some very short play sessions. I started some patterns and structure for self control and arousal management without doing obedience drills. A few highlights: Toy trading — Prevent keep-away games and resource guarding before they start, and build a foundation for recall away from dogs and prey animals. Sit for the toy —...
