Educating You and Your Dog Online
Top 5 reasons why online learning is the future.
– The whole family can be on board. Everyone can watch the videos at a time that is convenient to them. No one is getting second hand information.
– Many dogs (and owners) struggle to focus in a class environment. By learning online you can start off the exercises at home then add in distractions when you are ready for them. Watch the videos without trying to keep your dog under control in a class environment.
– Can’t quite remember how to do the exercise? You can re-watch the videos as often as you like.
– You keep the videos for life. If your dog starts pulling on the lead again, or running off, you can rewatch the videos whenever you need to.
– Full support via WhatsApp, email or phone whem you need it.

Practical Puppy
Primary School is where a formal education starts for children. Children progress from the informal atmosphere of a play group to focusing more on reading, writing and maths. This is like the transformation from Puppy Training up to Dog School.
In Dog School we re-visit the exercises taught in Puppy Training, but in a more formal manner. The course is also suitable for dogs who haven’t had any previous training. Students learn the process of how to teach their dog something new, and how to break it down into steps. Being older, the dogs are able to retain more information and are able to focus better. The course covers walking on a loose lead, coming back when called, stay, handling and other exercises needed in daily life.
On completion of the 8 week course you have the option to take the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Award assessment. During the course you have the option to do the IMDT partnership award level 1.
Maximum of 4 dogs and their owners per class to allow for individual help when required.
You will have access to an online video library where you can watch the exercises covered in class. This is a great way to get the whole family involved in training, including those unable to attend classes.
Support between classes via WhatsApp, phone or email when you need it.
Dog School is suitable for all dogs of all ages, including those with no previous training. However I reccomend that dogs under six months do the puppy course first.
21 Days to Loose Lead Dreams
Do you struggle to get your dog to walk on a Loose Lead?
Feel you have done a full arm work out trying to keep your dog under control?
This course will help you achieve your loose lead dreams in 21 days.
This course is for people who are serious and committed to achieve results. Every day for the 21 days you will have a task to complete. The loose lead daily task will help mentally tire your dog. It is important that you get everyone who walks your dog involved with the course. The online plan and videos can be accessed at your convenience. You have access to the online material contained within the course for life. Therefore any time in the future, if you find bad habits creeping back in, you can access the material to re-do the 21 day plan.
The course covers the two different types of loose lead walking. Leisure mode is for when you and your dog go for a leisurely stroll together. It gets you in tune with each other, like enjoying a walk with a friend. Leisure mode should make up most of your walks. In contrast Training mode is where your dog walks beside your leg. It is great for busy areas where you need to keep your dog close

“Laura’s support has been invaluable in producing a happy dog who is well on the way to being a delight inside and out, on and off the lead, despite not being the easiest breed. She’s patient and creative, and is able to adapt her approach and advice to the preferences of individual owners and dogs. There are many dog training resources out there, some good, some perhaps less so, but Laura’s non-judgemental approach and willingness to engage directly with specific challenges stand out.” Mrs Moriarty
