It's not (all) about competition!

I strongly believe that first and foremost, the training and experience of any dog activity must serve the dog and meet their needs. Jamie’s dogs are companions first and that means they're often to be found resting at her feet at an outdoor café, paddle boarding on the lake, and accompanying her to the farmers market during the summer. For each of those activities, care must be taken to ensure that the dog is enjoying the experience and is actively opting in.

Foundation skills help with communication and confidence, and whether you compete or not, sports dog training can easily provide that foundation. Jamie has excellent mechanical skills with dogs and explains them very well. We both prioritize the social and physical ‘thrival’ needs of dogs. That's why I asked her back to teach another practical dog training skills webinar to complement her excellent session on stationing.

Recorded live on December 8, 2021.

  • Suitable for people interested in starting competitive sports with their dogs, or for families wanting a dog that can "go anywhere and do anything."
