Description
Let me introduce you to the ‘Power Of The Pattern’ and how these simple exercises can help to build predictability, boost confidence in your reactive dog, and enhance your relationship.
Each week you will learn new patterns, how to teach them, and how to apply them in different situations to really strengthen your communication as a team, regardless of the distraction. We even cover how these exercises can be used to help your dog calm down if they do react to ensure you know how to handle things together. Let’s help make the unfamiliar, familiar through predictable patterns games that you can use anywhere!
Pattern games help your dog to regulate themselves by ‘controlling their meerkat’ and focusing on you!
