Does every hill look like an impassable mountain? Do you live in constant fear of coming down a steep slope on your face? Are mud and tree roots your nemesis? Do you lose ten minutes every time you run into a stile?

- Ascending and descending
- Working with mud, trees and other hazards
- Navigating gates and stiles with speed and control

Class location: Welburn

- Start line techniques

The dog moves steadily down the line of people, suddenly the tail is going extra fast and the bum slams onto the ground. Those brown eyes are staring hard at your left pocket… that’s a passive indication!

This is where the find stops being the reward - vital for a bomb detection dog, but an extra challenge for your dog to take on!

Three week class

Pre-req: Dogs can settle quietly in class; can search for at least one target scent; can offer one consistent behaviour (e.g. sit)

Running with your dog can give you a sense of freedom especially if your dog can't usually go off lead.
Giving them a job to do can help with anxiety and frustration, plus the exercise helps to drain excess energy.
The best way to learn is in a very small group with just one other reliable dog as a model. We can do harness fittings calmly, no need to work round other dogs and people. Then we go out together to work on your skills, and help your dog learn to concentrate.
Taught in a secure 2-acre field.
