About Games Based Training
Playing games with your dog is not only fun, it builds relationships and boosts focus and learning. We all want a reliable dog, the one that can happily greet other dogs and people, is not fazed by visitors to the home, noises, new situations and will happily sit on their bed or mat in café or pub. Living with dog behaviour issues like reactivity, inconsistent recall, p
ulling on lead, noise reactivity to sounds like doorbells & fireworks, engaging in the environment and running off to the furthest corner of the park and refusing to come at the end of a lovely walk, barking, pulling on lead can become all- consuming. Dog owner’s just don’t know where to start with solving these issues and it can often lead to emotional stress with owner’s just accepting the limits of their dog. Training can be done at any stage of your dog’s life and through short fun sessions implemented regularly, you can notice your dog start to make better choices after a few weeks. All the games can be learnt and played in the home and garden before area with big distractions. This is the ideal place to build up rehearsal to develop the behaviour you want in real life situations. It provides mental stimulation; challenges and physical fitness as well as some super cool moves to show to friends and family.
