Food Refusal/Safety Class
Take your dog's impulse control to the competitive level. Inspired by real world working dog deployment pressure, this fast-paced, high-arousal workshop teaches your dog to view extreme environmental temptations as an automatic "start button" to lock eyes and focus on you. The temptations include things like food scattered on the floor, food dropped from above or food handled by a distraction helper.
Teaching food refusal for safety and engagement for sports success in two hours, in a seminar style format with detailed take home materials to follow and all taught with positive reinforcement.

Cognition Testing
Why Cognition Testing Matters?
Tailored Training- Uncover whether your dog learns best through visual cues, memory, or independent problem-solving. This lets you replace frustrating trial-and-error with a hyper-customized training plan.
Better Bonding:
Discover how your dog uniquely processes the world around them. Understanding their communication style drastically improves your teamwork and deepens your relationship.
Confidence Boosting:
Identifying your dog’s natural cognitive strengths lets you set them up for success, reducing anxiety and behavioral issues rooted in miscommunication.
We can only test 4 dogs in a session and all 4 dogs will be there for the entire 4 hours.
