Follow On Course - on hold

This course has been designed to continue development of skills introduced during the Puppy & Beginner course, as well as giving you and your dog opportunities to learn new skills in a more challenging environment.

  • The course is designed to progress your dogs obedience so they must be able to focus around a small group of dogs.

    As we are working towards exercises at a distance your dog should be able to be off lead or on a long line.

  • Each course will be tailored to the ability of the dogs on the course so flexibility is key, however within the 5 weeks we will aim to cover skills such as:

    🐾 Focus on handler around moving dogs and people

    🐾 Beginner scent work to help with calmness and 'find it' activities

    🐾 Settle - remaining calm on a mat whilst you have a conversation or sit at a table

    🐾 Recall with temptation - leaving items on the floor and still come back to you

    🐾 Emergency stops - whilst your dog is running get them to stop

    🐾 Send your dog to their bed or mat

    🐾 Working towards having your dog off lead during exercises
