Fixated to Focus - workshop with Ellen Coop from The Urban Herder

Details

Do you have a hard wired herder? Who locks on to moving targets? Or maybe pancakes down, refusing to move? Who gets overly excited around other dogs and cannot think in their presence?
Or simply a dog who struggles to keep its concentration on you when you're out on walks?
This workshop is ideal for you, building engagement and focus! We will look at practical ways to engage your dog, learning to process the environment rather than just react to it.

ABOUT ELLEN:
Through her business, The Urban Herder, Ellen has made it her mission to help owners of herding breeds connect in practical way with their dogs so they can live together peacefully and happily. She is a full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), a student member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) a graduate CBST of the Companion Animal Institute and is currently studying Applied Animal Behaviour and Training at University.
Ellen has owned Border Collies for her entire adult life, at home she has Lorenzo (10 months old), Efa (3 years old) a budding-ball enthusiast and Piper (2 year old) who is never far behind thanks to her herding drive.
Jasper, Ellen’s dog in a million, ignited Ellen’s passion and drive to create The Urban Herder and took her on a vast learning journey across the country. Together Ellen and Jasper travelled the country to work with other trainers, attend seminars and events to seek help with his anxieties, fear, car reactivity and struggle with daily life. On this journey Ellen came across many other owners who were also experiencing issues similar to Jasper who could benefit from the knowledge gained. Although Jasper is no longer here, it is thanks to him that Ellen is able to understand, work with and help others and their herding breed to thrive in the urban environment
