Rebuild. Whether you’ve just adopted your dog, missed out on training early on, or simply want to build a stronger, safer bond—Back to Basics is where it all begins. This isn’t just an obedience class. It’s a complete behavioural foundation course for dogs aged 1.5 years and up, designed to transform your daily life with your dog through clear communication, confidence-building, calm focus, and better behaviour in real-world settings. What You’ll Learn Together ✅ Bonding That Matters Through purposeful games and enrichment activities, you’ll develop a bond built on trust and mutual understanding—not just commands and treats. ✅ Reliable Communication Cues Master the 10 most essential cues (our “Toolbox Ten”) like Sit, Stay, Come, Touch, Go, Bed, and more—with real-life proofing so your dog listens, even when distracted. ✅ Reading Your Dog Learn how to interpret body language, arousal levels, and signs of stress so you can confidently prevent reactivity, anxiety, or shutdown before it starts. ✅ Confident, Controlled Walks Teach both Dog-Led and Human-Led Walking, leash skills, redirection, and polite greetings to turn every walk into a calmer, more connected experience. ✅ Safe Handling & Calm Focus Train your dog to enjoy being touched, groomed, and examined—building cooperative care and handling confidence. ✅ Socialisation With Structure Introduce your dog to new environments, people, and dogs in a way that builds resilience rather than overstimulation. Perfect For: • Dogs aged 2 years and up (including “teenage” dogs and adult rescues) • Owners looking to fill the gaps left by earlier training • Families wanting to improve their dog’s manners, safety, and focus • Anyone ready to better understand and enjoy life with their dog This is the training you wish you’d done from day one—made even better with real-world relevance and a modern, science-based approach. Spots are limited. Book today and give your dog the clarity, structure, and confidence they need to thrive.
