House-training
Two hours on the routine, timing and supervision that house-train a dog — and on what to do when the routine slips.
Dog training workshops
Two-hour workshops are offered periodically, each one aimed at a single problem or skill. They are a good first step if you cannot commit to a six-week class, or a top-up if one habit still needs work.
Jumping and unwanted barking
Why dogs jump up and bark, what they are getting out of it, and how to teach an alternative behaviour that gets them what they want.
Walking on lead
Loose-lead walking with positive motivation: the equipment, the hand position, and the moment to reward.
ABC's of Puppy Parenting
What a puppy needs in its first months — socialising, chewing, nipping, sleeping and the rules a puppy can actually understand.
Proper games to play
Which games build a working relationship with your dog, and which ones quietly teach it to ignore you.
Tricks
Fun with tricks for handlers who want to keep training light and keep their dog thinking.
Booking a workshop
Workshops are scheduled periodically and are announced by telephone. Call 405-224-7715 for more information, to be told when the next workshop on your topic is running, or to ask for one to be arranged.
