Who will benefit?

The course is ideal for beginners or experienced trainers as the techniques used can be applied at any skill level.

The course addresses problem behaviours - big or small - that make daily life frustrating or even unbearable. No dog is immune from problem behaviours, and even well-trained dogs can do things that baffle their owners. Leash on Life can help whether there's one behaviour to change or a dozen, and provides a path to living successfully with dogs again.

You will learn:

  • How real dogs think - and why.
  • How to teach essential manners like Sit, Drop, Stay, Stand, Come, Drop, Settle, Leave It & Loose Lead
  • How to improve your relationship with dogs using training, leadership, guidance and guardianship.
  • The cause of the most common behaviour problems, and the best way to respond to them
