Read MoreI really like the course - our puppies need good support from us, but they especially need the right amount. Too often the natural area is forgotten - not here: I love the proprioceptive part in nature. That's what our dogs need to train their skills :) - yes, getting to know a wobbly ball is o.k. - but it never replaces nature and can be detrimental to puppies health. (PS: I am a physiotherapist for dogs, sports dogs and teaching therapists, trainers and dog owners in healthy movements and movement analysis).
Read LessPuppyhood is a delicate time, where puppies are learning what's 'normal' in their world, and what is scary or should be avoided.
This courses focuses on life skills versus the standard obedience-oriented approach. It can be taken as a stand-alone course or better, in conjunction with a well-run local puppy socialization and training course or private lessons from a trainer.
Essential skills for life with humans.
Socialization with dogs, people, and other species.
Environmental resilience.
How to stop and change unwanted behavior.
Text with videos, plus a 150-page eBook for reference.
Included with Diamond Membership (see below).
But most of this is also applicable to any dog in your life, especially a new rescue dog.
Empowered Puppy Raising is about giving dogs tools to thrive in human families. Exercises focus on helping puppies learn effective and healthy ways to meet their needs.
By "healthy," I mean behavior that doesn't conflict with others (including people) also meeting their needs.
The how-to portion will be accessible to 'regular' puppy parents and the additional dog-geek discussions are meant for professional dog trainers and dog enthusiasts.
This course includes BAT for puppies, empowered counterconditioning techniques, and clicker training, among other things.
