Service Description
A great starting point for puppies, adolescents and adult dogs new to training (or needing a reset). 4 months and up. Foundations & Focus - Level 1 is all about building engagement, understanding reinforcement, and helping your dog learn how to learn. We focus on clear communication, calm confidence, and practical foundation skills that support everyday life. You’ll learn how to use food, toys and play effectively, build focus around distractions, and start key skills like loose lead walking, recall foundations, calm handling and cooperative care — all taught through games and positive reinforcement. This is the first step to moving on through the Levels 1-3 and then onwards to Tricks and/or dog sports. PLEASE NOTE: We do not work with any of the following behaviour challenges: - Reactivity - towards humans, dogs or other animals - Separation Anxiety - Resource Guarding (we will refer these cases onto a veterinary behaviourist)
