Begin Again

So I know from talking to a lot of people that many of you had unexpected challenges this year and feel like you did not fully take advantage of the program. This is your opportunity to begin again! As you all know I have a new puppy and I will be sharing with you all how I raise my pup. So anyone who got behind or needs a little motivation to get going again, time to jump back in with me!

I will be adding on a new puppy program which you will see my advertising on IG & FB, don’t worry, all of you here will be getting access to my live puppy training sessions too, you already have access to the foundation materials and group classes so you don’t need to join that program, though you will have the opportunity to do so after the end of this year’s Bark Commanders if you want to keep going with that at the end of this year’s program if you don’t want to do this program again. But as a Bark Commander you get access to all those materials for the rest of this year.

What’s included in that program?

Instead of recorded videos of specific exercises I will be sharing regular live training sessions of me working with my puppy, so you can see entire training sessions and how I transition through things. (I will record the sessions for those unable to view due to time zone differences). I will not be interacting with viewers while I train, I will just work my pup and let you watch and then after will answer questions about why and what I did. I will be blogging and podcasting about what I am doing and why. Basically I will be taking you inside, in depth, how I raise my puppies and will let you watch me do so in complete sessions rather than broken down pieces. It will be more like a discussion group and nerd out space for those wanting more.

Then we will have group training sessions where you can do the same things you watched me work on and I can give you feedback on what I see you working on.

Another thing you will see in this experience is it will involve a LOT of shaping and clicker training, so last week I shared a refresher on getting back into shaping, so anyone wanting to follow along might want to brush off your clicker and find a good box 😉.

So get ready for puppy vision! I will of course keep advancing the materials for everyone who has stayed active, you are welcome to join in the puppy fun as well, but know I will keep the more advanced classes going too.

I also added an additional blog entry to this websites main blog on preparing for my puppy that you can check out if you would like to.
