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.
