Getting to know our community and learning empawrium resources
Welcome to our community and thank you for choosing the Silver / Gold package to help you and your dog. Our site is packed with useful information and downloadable content to help you get the most out of our time together.
However, we understand it can be a bit overwhelming at first and it’s difficult to know where to start so this page helps you to know where everything is 🙂
What Do You Need ?
Firstly have a think about what the priority is for you, your dog, and your learning style. For many these will vary and will be different for everyone. Often you want to dive straight into the practical training, however, it’s often better for your dog if you slow down and focus on rest and relaxation for the first few weeks and build up your bond again.
I need to understand my dogs point of view
Try starting with reading through the understanding your dog sections of our Building your B.A.S.E. and foundations course and maybe watch the Dr Spock and the Meerkat course too. These will give you a really good understanding of why your dog is reacting the way are in different situations. You can then use the printable sheets to take notes now of what your struggling with and would like to achieve. This can help you build your plan and you can match it with the plan created with you by your CAB in your Rehabilitation Diary
I need a place to talk openly about my dog and the struggles we're facing with those who understand
Living with these dogs is tough and few people understand what it’s like unless they have lived experience. We want to support you as much as your dog and have created groups where you can talk to others, share experience and tips and rant away to get it off your chest. We understand how hard it can be. Have a look at our social groups, we recommend the social community group for open chat with all members of our community and our team for general chat and advice. If you would like more privacy we have a consultation clients only group too. This is available only to our team and anyone who has had a consultation with us making it the most secure and private place to talk. We also have an active PUBLIC facebook group too, which is filled with information but all posts are visible to everyone so if you want to talk away from where family and friends may see, our onsite groups are for you., of which we have a few!
I need a step by step course to work through
We have a whole bunch of courses, that are always increasing. Our courses have instructional videos and often downloadable ebooks that you can print off for when you’re practicing off line. To start we recommend these three to get you started on the right track. You can view them all here. Many also have downloadable and printable Ebooks, which you can view in the learning empawrium
I need a place to talk with my assigned CAB about my dog and our tasks and progress
Communication is the key to success and we are here to support you, it’s important that you let us know if your struggling as we will try to ensure everything is as accessible and achievable for you as possible.Â
