About the event
Impulse Control (or Stimulus Control) is the crock to so many problems we see in both sports and pet dogs.
Dogs that get over excited on seeing something or someone they want, dogs that steal items, dogs that can not walk by the smelly fire hydrant, or get past the squirrel....all of these are examples of areas where impulse control comes into play.
Teaching the dog that they have the ability to suppress that 'urge' and continue, is a skill that all dogs needs to learn.
We will take it from simple stays and build to walking by the ball (or treat or toy or ????).
We will start from the beginning with simple tasks and build by adding new training techniques as you and your dog progresses.
This workshop will take your training to a whole new dimension ........more sessions will follow in this category. Theres something for everyone in this area!!
