Train, prevent, interrupt. It’s a good motto that I like to bring into my training. I train to teach the dog what I want him

We have created a template which we call "Boost What You Want," where we offer you our best tips and structure for a great training plan.
Last day in Canada, today we worked on the stop whistle and casting and dogs and handlers were progressing really well 😍 Now I’m at the airport on my way back home, but I hope I’ll be able to come back and stay for longer because I’ve had a great time.
Another great training day in Canada. New set of dogs and handlers today, working on delivery to hand, taking and holding as well as steadiness and heelwork. Looking forward to meeting them again tomorrow and start working with the stop whistle and casting.
Enjoying some great training days and weather in Nova Scotia, Canada. Today I had the pleasure of instructing 5 pointers and a standard poodle (who I unfortunately didn’t get a picture of). We cover taking and holding, delivery to hand and steadiness. Tomorrow a new group is coming in, looking forward to that 🙂
Enter your email address via the below (or link in the bio) and we will email you the plan completely free of charge!
