Canine Play Workshop

Join us for a 6 hour play workshop in Rye, East Sussex

This workshops aims to get you and your dog working together to build relationship, motivation and drive. This workshop is a combination of theory and practical to give you an understanding of predatory sequence and motivation so you can really understand your dogs drives and then 3 hours of practical work looking at dynamics, winning vs losing, how to utilise food games for obedience and bringing our your dogs prey drive through play. We will work on troubleshooting and obedience so you can constructively play with your dog.

​

Find out how your individual dog likes to play, how play can be useful for training and try out different toys to find what works for you and your dog.

This workshop is split into 2 hours of intro and theory in the morning, a break for some coffee/lunch and then 3 hours of practical in the afternoon. Your dogs may have to stay in the cars for the initial theory or you can bring them into the venue if they are able to settle.

Spectator Spot: £50 per person (15 spaces)

Working Spot: £85 per person (8 spaces)

Off-Lead Reliability Workshop

Having a dog fully and reliably off lead goes far beyond recall - it's the ability to listen even around distractions, be able to stay with you when asked to do so and be released on cue and recalling even with more exciting things up ahead.

​

In our 3 hour off lead reliability workshop, we aim to give you the skills to train your dog to be able to be reliably off lead. This is not a "fix it" workshop, it's designed to teach you how to work with your dogs and build up the skills to have them off the lead.

​

(Please note, if you struggle with reactivity or intense predatory behaviours, please contact first to discuss your dogs individual needs before applying to the workshop)​

​

You will need:

1. A longline or Flexi Lead

2. Your dogs breakfast and/or their favourite treats

3. Your normal walking equipment

4. your dog favourite toy (if they are toy motivated)

​

£60 per person/dog

Cooperative Care & Handling Workshop

Being able to have your dog handled for grooming, vet visits, checks or just as part of your own relationship with your dog is a skill and one that has to be taught for some. Certain breeds are more prone to touch sensitivity, handling aggression or maybe they have had a bad experience that means they are anxious when being manoeuvred or touched.

​

Our cooperative care and handling workshop goes through how to build up handling drills, teach dogs to tolerate and work with us for handling and how to teach the best emergency handling for vet visits.

We can work through touch sensitivity, grooming drills, eyes, ears, paws as well as source focusing & collar handling for more difficult things.

Date: Wednesday 12th August 5:30pm - 7:30pm

Working Spot: £60 (Bring your dog + work with them during the workshop) - 5 Spaces available

Spectator Spot: £30 (Come without your dog to learn and take the skills to try at home)

Dogs Around Horses Workshop

Could you trust that you could recall and control your dog around horses and riders?

If you're unsure of how your dog will respond or your scrabbling to get them back on lead when you see a horse in the distance, this workshop is for you.

​

Our workshop is hosted at the beautiful venue of Bedgebury Pinetum which many horse riders use to exercise their horses and where many walk their dogs, it's so important to make sure our dogs can remain calm and respond to direction when they see a horse as charging a horse and rider could result in serious injury!

​

I have teamed up with a wonderful local stables who have some confident horses we can work around to build your dogs training around horses, enable calm and measured responses to the sight of horses and be able to recall away from horses!

£75 per person/dog
