Downtown vibe, rotary trail access, a fridge full of drinks, and music. That's the 3D Dog group class experience. 🐕

Flow Work with Rose - Intuitive dog training
Traditional dog training: hold up treat. Get dog to sit. Give reward. Release. Repeat; Dry. Mechanical. Mathematical. Elementary.
What we do: dance, flow, finesse, interpret, intuit, converse, respond. No treats or words are needed.
*Video is better with audio 😉
Pack Leader? That doesn't make sense.
We are told by some that we should be "pack leaders." But what does that term mean, and is it even correct?
Can your dog do this?
Group class is in full swing! We sometimes affectionately call it our Brewery Prep Course. Many of our students comment with "I didn't think this would be possible." But we make the seemingly impossible, a reality.
Sammy, the Super Service Dog, has now mastered 10 different tasks for his mom. She suffers from a neuromuscular disorder that can have many different symptomatic features. Sammy has a task for each of them. Among those tasks are to search and find mom is she is incapacitated or unable to call for help. See him in action below.
And you might be surprised to know that the cost for such a dog would often exceed $25,000-$30,000 and take several years to train. We got it done in around 6 months of occasional training sessions and for around $2,639! She saved well over $22,000. Sammy's training is ongoing, but he has given quite a bit of life back to mom.
Impulsive dogs are a danger to you and themselves. It's important to get this issue under control ASAP using whatever tools and proper means available. (p.s. this client was fine, but did suffer from a fall due to the dog suddenly pulling them.)
This is just one of many exercises we use in our group classes. Each dog has to return to their owner without being distracted by the other dog. Get started today and we will have you and your dog ready for spring fun out in public. Www.ThreeDimensionalDog.com
