Loose Lead Walking 2 hour workshop 

Friday 8th July 10.30am - 12.30pm £30

Held at King George V Field, Caister

Teach your dog a cue to walk beside you rather than pulling on the lead and your walks becoming a tug of war. Loose Lead walking is different to heelwork in that we still want our dogs to sniff and explore their environment whilst still having the means to ask them to walk to heel when required. The workshop will teach you how to get and keep your dog's focus on you including how to deal when meeting people and other dogs. 

NOTE: this is not a reactivity workshop. Dogs showing reactivity tendancies towards other dogs can be seen on a 1 to 1 basis.

Workshops have limited spaces. 

Booking is required with full non-refundable payment to secure booking

Weather will not stop workshop going ahead except the confidence building workshop for safety reasons which will be resheduled.

A minimum of 2 dogs will need to book for the workshop to go ahead.

For owners that wish to have to a more intensive 1 to 1 session tailored training with just you and your dog these are £45 for 1 min. 60 minute lesson and a short follow up visit, if local, at a time/day to suit. You will be emailed a report of observations and training suggestions. This includes full phone and email support.
