Do you often wonder if your dogs know you exist?!
We get it! We understand and we can help!
The world is full of exciting distractions for your dog, making it challenging—and often frustrating—when you’re competing for their attention. Whether it’s other dogs, people, or enticing scents, getting your dog to respond to you can feel like an uphill battle.
You might even find yourself feeling anxious about walks, worrying that your dog won’t come back when called, and missing out on enjoyable moments together.
If your dog struggles to focus on you and is more interested in their surroundings than returning when called, our Socialisation & Recall Workshop offers simple, effective techniques to help. Learn how to build focus and reliability with easy-to-implement training strategies, so you can confidently enjoy off-lead adventures without the stress.
