Control Unleashed in Public: Building Resilience in Public Access Training - Auditing Slots $50.00
Happy Dog Institute and Mindful Pupper are co-hosting a workshop! Get perspective on ways to utilize Control Unleashed games to foster resilience in service dog teams. Breakdown of common games used for public access training, explore creative strategies for handling tough situations, and problem solve fading out games as teams progress.
Auditing Details: Auditors are welcome to attend and participate in conversation and learning activities without a dog.
**For auditors bringing a service dog (who meets the ADA requirements and is not getting a working spot), we ask that these dogs be able to settle for longer periods of time around other dogs and people working. Due to the nature of the environment and workshop, dogs that are disruptive will be asked to leave.
Control Unleashed in Public: Building Resilience in Public Access Training - Working Slots $100.00
Pattern games for advanced environments. Join Paul in their Control Unleashed workshop to learn how to use and expand on simple pattern games to get consistency and resilience in challenging locations. This workshop is great for trialing teams struggling in between runs, therapy dog teams trying to work through harder situations, and service dog teams that need an extra confidence boost for public access.
"Working Slot" details: dogs must be able to work alongside other dogs and humans with minimal barriers, take treats in novel locations, should have a foundation in clicker training, and be able to settle between exercises with assistance of bones or Toppls. Humans will ideally have moderate knowledge of clicker training and basic understanding of pattern game concepts. Graduates of our Advanced Manners class are welcome to sign up. Please email Paul at paul@happydoginstitute.com for questions about participation.
