What's Happening this week?

We will finish the last of our set of 4 sessions for the Tricks and the Saturday Reactivity classes. Don’t worry, we will keep revisiting these things! The Foundation Classes will stay for a bit longer as we work on getting everyone really solid foundations.

This week in the tricks class we will talk about the “put your toys away” trick. As you saw in the sound sensitivity trick this can be used for more than just a trick! Also, did you know that teaching your dogs to fetch, and retrieve to hand or to a specific spot is one of the best ways to prevent resource guarding? It’s true, teaching dogs to share means you don’t have to try to take things from them! This is why it is included in my foundations training! There will be a bonus tricks class April 5th (a Tuesday Morning) to recap what we have worked on and to give you ideas on how to keep progressing these tricks!

This week in the Reactivity Class we will focus on Motion reactivity: skateboards, bicycles, cars, joggers, etc.
