Love the Chase: Aligning Training With Your Dog’s Prey Instincts
Sunday, March 9th, 10:00am - 12:30pm
Does your dog’s training fly out the window when critters appear, leaving food and toys ignored? Instead of battling your dog’s natural prey instinct, this workshop will teach you how to work with it. You’ll learn to transform their focus on distractions into a fun, shared activity by creatively presenting rewards and partnering with your dog in what excites them most. Embrace their instincts and build a stronger connection!
