F A R M S K I L L S
This course was inspired by the AKC's Farm Dog Certified Test and allows the dog to learn and practice skills such as self-control, confidence and trust, in a practical, novel environment.
​
Dogs will encounter new sights, sounds, and scents typical to farm life, learning obedience and developing your partnership along the way.
​
Topics include: Patience at Gates, Jumping up on Bales, Walking on Different Surfaces, Staying Close While Filling/Carrying Buckets, Waiting/ Tie-out, Engines Running (Side-by-side, Lawn Mower etc),
Wearing Boots/Jackets, Control Around a Variety of Livestock.
​
Canine Confidence
This set of 4 Private Lessons​​ is designed to boost your dog's confidence in new situations.
​
Each lesson (around 40 minutes) will prepare you and your dog with positive training techniques, and gentle exposure to tunnels, low jumps, hoopers and bridges that aid in teamwork development, trust, and build confidence. Rewards are required (a few treats & tug/ball if toy motivated).
​
One of the things I love about these lessons is that they're just as valuable for older dogs or dogs recovering from injury - we can adjust it so that it's low-impact!
​
Improves flexibility/mobility, balance, coordination, & cognition!
