In this introduction video we address some of the challenges of walking our dogs and what we can do to meet their physical, mental, social and emotional needs in different ways through fun and engaging activities that promote connection, co-operation, trust and confidence. You will learn how to choose the best activities for you and your dog tailored to individual needs, your dogs breed traits, temperament, age and learning level - prioritizing safety and comfort to foster a positive experience.

The activities and games in this course are intended to be fun for you and your dog, and to build trust, communication and co-operation skills. If however, you find your dog is not willing to participate (there could be a number of reasons for this), or you are struggling to help your dog understand what you are asking them to do - you may need a little help with some trouble-shooting or further assistance. In this section I have provided answers to a few FAQ's and also ways you can get in touch with me should you have a more specific question.
