On this course you'll learn to train foundational skills that will be invaluable for obedience, rally obedience and other dog sports — or if you simply want to learn clicker training and have a brilliant time with your dog 😊. Foundational skills are building blocks that you can later combine and teach your dog almost anything!
Examples of foundational skills we'll work with on the course include heelwork, attention, backing up and position changes such as stand from sit and sit from down.
The course runs over 6 evenings from 18:30 to 20:30 at 4Poter's course venue in Haslum. With a maximum of 5 participants, there's plenty of time for individual attention, and we tailor the practical training to each handler and dog's starting point and challenges. We train in short sessions with one dog at a time, which makes the course also well suited for dogs that find being too close to other dogs challenging.
