Upcoming Live Webinar: Understanding Exercise
While we have vastly expanded our understanding of enrichment and other aspects of dog care and training, how we exercise our dogs is still a frequently overlooked subject.
Exercise is an integral part of how we care for our dogs, and can frequently be the linchpin in behaviour and wellness plans. But the way we talk about and understand exercise is still overly simplistic and hard to navigate for trainers and guardians alike. Understanding Exercise lays out a framework for understanding and implementing this critical component of care. LIVE webinar and Q&A September 28th at 5pm PST |
Retriever Games
|
The best exercise and enrichment for your dog is something that uses the job they were designed to do!
The first of it's kind, this webinar brings retriever training to pet guardians. Learn how to teach your dog to retrieve any object, and how to use fun retrieving games to enrich your dogs life and keep them mentally and physically fit. Using only reinforcement based training, this webinar is in two parts: teaching a clicker retrieve, and retrieving games. Perfect for retrievers, spaniels, other sporting/gundogs and any dog who loves to play fetch! Prerequisites: basic clicker skills for both handler and dog, dog must be comfortable having collar or harness handled, a reliable sit cue. PS: did you know that doodles are retrievers? |
He’s Been Totally Engaged with Me
[Charlie] was so hyper aroused he wouldn’t even take super high value treats from me outside, let alone anything else.
Fast forward now to spring time, and he’s been totally engaged with me and doing all of the steps of retriever games outside! He’s ignoring people and dogs walking by and staying focused on the game. If I tell him “go sniff” to take a break he just stays in front of me wagging his tail. I can’t believe it, actually might be in a bit of shock.

Recall Webinar
|
Have you felt that panicky, sinking feeling when your dog hears you call, and then completely ignores you?
It really sucks. But any dog can learn a safe and reliable recall, opening up greater freedom on walks, hikes and at the park. This webinar is for people with selective-hearing dogs, dogs who were doing well before adolescence, or those with squirrel related hyperfocus. |

Your Duck Toller
Tollers were once one of Canada’s best-kept secrets, but now their popularity is exploding!
Many people are attracted to their soft, expressive faces, their beautiful red coats and engaging, intelligent personalities. But many new owners find themselves overwhelmed and unprepared for these little orange firecrackers. Finding good, reliable information about this breed on the internet is hard.
One of my greatest joys is educating people on Duck Tollers and helping new Toller owners elevate their understanding of their dogs. This course is a unique package that will teach you everything you need to know about them: from their intriguing and mysterious history, their engaging (and sometimes challenging) behaviour to the many jobs, sports and activities they excel at.
If you are looking for your perfect new active family member or sport partner, or if you are a new Toller owner, this course is perfect for you!
