What’s Included
Who is this class for?
This class is for those dogs that have difficulties meeting dogs when they are on lead. Does your dog bark and lunge at other dogs because they want to play?
This class is especially useful if your dog is great when off the lead, but has difficulties greeting dogs when on the lead.
Please note, this is NOT for aggressive or reactive dogs that are attempting to repel the other dog while on the lead. If you are unsure of your dog’s intention, please contact Mark to discuss further before registering for this class.
What will you learn?
You will learn what dog greetings should look like, and things that indicate when they are about to go pear-shaped. Learn to recognise if either dog is attempting to avoid the greeting. You will be given a very specific formula to use when approaching other dogs, and we will practice in class.
What do you need to bring to class?
- Your dog should be wearing a well-fitting collar or harness.
- A flat lead, preferably around 2 metres long.
- Treats or a chew object to keep them entertained while we are talking.
The following are NOT permitted:
- Check chains (choke chains)
- Prong collars, or any training device designed to cause pain or discomfort to the dog
- Head halters (e.g. Haltis)
- Bungy leads
- Retractable leads (e.g. Flexi-leads)
