Free Work
​(In Person)

Have you heard of Free Work but would like to find out more?

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.

Join us for this Free Work workshop where we will:

- Explore different free work set ups
- Provide observations for your dog
- Discover their potential preferences​

Jumping Up
​(In Person)

Do you have a 'jumper upper'? Is your dog an excited greeter?

There's lots of reasons why our dogs may jump up; in this workshop we will start to explore greetings from our dogs point of view and how to support them in these situations.

We will use Animal Centred Education methods to support our dogs with human greetings and we will explore their greeting preferences.
To support our dogs emotional needs, it goes deeper than just training them to sit or keep 4 paws on the floor, by helping address their emotional needs, we help shape more appropriate greetings.
