In this introductory workshop you will come to understand the importance of using play drive in training any dog. In any species it is through play that we learn best, by building an understanding and desire to repeat the process again because it was positive and successful.

Learn how game play with and without food can lead to incredible focus and obedience from your dog. Discover what makes your individual dog tick and learn how you can utilise their natural instincts to your full advantage to prevent and resolve many unwanted behaviours.

​What topics do we cover?
​
Breed and genetic influences
How dogs influence each other through play

Timing and reward - the theory of learning
The start of play drive
The do's and don'ts of game play
The power of retrieve training and how to use it effectively
