Course Details
Dogs communicate primarily through motion and pressure – it’s their natural language. We can use this to our advantage. When we try to get engagement while standing still, we actually make things harder for our dogs. Motion, on the other hand, is something they instinctively respond to. By using motion strategically, you can capture your dog’s attention and shift their focus away from distractions.
In this workshop, you’ll learn a variety of simple techniques and games that use motion to build, strengthen, and maintain engagement. These strategies are effective both for teaching engagement from the start and for keeping your dog engaged around distractions. Whether you’re just beginning to work on engagement or looking to take your dog’s focus to the next level, this workshop is for you.
