Positive control around sheep and other distractions

Positive control around sheep - a livestock safety course with a difference.

Our objective is for you to be safe members of society, to be able to control your dog in the presence of sheep, (and other animals who might not appreciate being chased) for livestock's emotional and physical well-being to be protected.

My goal is for you and your dog to have the skills for stress free walks.

Some of the things we will cover:

🐑 Sheep and how they communicate - are they scared? Happy? Is your presence frightening them?

🐕‍🦺 Training management behaviours that promote responsible space sharing (sometimes we need to walk on a footpath past sheep, how can we best do this without scaring the sheep and without our dogs losing their minds...)

⚽ How to fulfill dogs drive for chasing in a safe way.

🐶 Important life skills such as recall, loose lead walking, self control etc etc

🌼 Working on relationship goals - how we can develop the best relationship with our dogs so they don't look too the environment for fun - but us.

😴 Learning that sheep are booooooring - Working with real life confident sheep in a safe way to promote the idea that sheep really aren't that interesting.

❌ We will be using positive reinforcement, management and relationship based training - absolutely no use aversives or punishment.

This will be a great opportunity for you to work closely with livestock in a safe way - safe for everyone involved.

Between session help and videos/homework included.

Extremely small group - places are limited to 4 participants so we can really be thorough and tailor training personal to you and your dog.
