Mind The Dog is a dog training class...with a twist. In this course, we practice a type of mutually beneficial care and need-fulfillment I like to call "restorative dog training", which I believe has a therapeutic effect at both ends of the leash.

About this Event
Mind The Dog is a dog training class...with a twist.
In this course, we practice a type of mutually beneficial care and need-fulfillment I like to call "restorative dog training", which I believe has a therapeutic effect at both ends of the leash.
Participating dogs gain confidence, while learning focus around distractions, basic obedience commands, leash manners, respect for boundaries, and interdependence (vs. codependence) with their people. Simultaneously, handlers learn best practices for managing their dogs' behavior as part of a mindfulness practice - with calm, consistent communication and leadership as primary learning goals.
The class is rooted in science-based training principles, which means we use rewards and redirection (never punishment) to elicit desirable behavior from our dogs (and ourselves).
To Bring: High-value treats that motivate your dog (I suggest freeze-dried liver) + a bait bag, for easy access to your treats; a mat for your dog to lay on…
