Connection Through Free Work
(In Person Course)


Free Work is a core element of ACE (Animal Centred Education). This course focuses on providing your dog with the opportunity to take part in their personalised Free Work set up. We will discover what their preferences are and observe how their body moves, enabling us to fully support their emotional and physical needs.
​
We will use the framework of Free Work to work on skills such as Relaxed Lead Walking, Recall and Dealing with Distractions.

For dogs aged 6 months and over.


If you would like to pay in instalments please contact us before booking.​

Intro to Free Work
(Online Course - taught live)


Free Work is a core element of Animal Centred Education. During this course we explore what Free Work is, how to set it up and its benefits for your dog. Free Work can bring peace and calmness to all dogs.
​

Free Work is used in Animal Centred Education as a way to enable our dogs to reset, rebalance and release. As our dogs start to slow down during free work, postural struggles, habits, worries about being handled or wearing a harness, to name a few, become more apparent. This enables us to help ease some of these concerns, positively impacting on our dogs welfare and behaviour.

If you would like to pay in instalments please contact us before booking.
