A typical day

TRAIN AND STAY: Video Recorded Training. A.M. I love to get out early on walks, starting with door boundary training. Wait for permission to leave. PLAY: stimulate with toys and sticks on the walk and allow full freedom within safe enclosed space. TRAIN RECALL AND HEEL WALKS. Once home BREAKFAST TRAINING - WAIT for permission to eat. They often sleep straight after breakfast. P.M I socialise and control obsessive behaviours here. TRAIN patience, eye contact and engagement. RECORDED. Crate training and self regulation Training all amount to a well rounded dog

Great communication, for which i was very grateful as i was a little worried about leaving him. I shouldn’t have worried though as Max was well looked after and i could tell he enjoyed his stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to get in touch again for future trips.
