121 Consultation Open Day
Canine Coaching hosts a variety of seminars and workshops on dog related subjects every year. These include practical handling workshops in various subjects including prey drive, lead walking, recall, basic handling and reactive dogs. We also present a range of core seminars on dog related subjects such as Body Language, Why Dogs Bite and Desensitisation and Counter Conditioning. Each seminar or workshop is suitable for anyone wishing to know more about canine behaviour or training. See below for upcoming seminars and workshops.
Practical Handling
This is for anyone currently working with dogs in rescue, grooming, veterinary, dog walking/boarding or just if you own a dog and want to improve your understanding of how dog work and communicate.
This practical handling course is designed for people looking to gain more experience in handling and reading dog body language.
Prey Drive
The dog’s life revolves around a series of instinctive behaviours; prey drive is the one of the most powerful.
All carnivores have an inbuilt ability and need to pursue and capture prey whether they are wild or domestic. In training, prey drive can be used as an advantage because dogs with high prey drive are also willing to pursue moving objects such as toys, which can then be used to encourage certain kinds of behaviour.
Gundog Training
The techniques used for training a dog depends very much on the type of work the dog is expected to perform.
Retrievers like the Labrador and working Golden Retrievers are generally known as the pickers up dog and are used to hunt and retrieve game that has been shot. A retriever should be trained to perform a set of particular tasks including;
Remain under control and remain sitting calmly and quietly until sent to retrieve. Watch and mark a falling bird or multiple birds. With the command Mark the dog should look and follow the bird and remember where it has dropped.
Reliable Lead Walking
Do you unintentionally feed the behaviour – dogs coming, quick he’s going to react badly, I better tighten his lead and let him sense that I have no confidence in him and that this is going to go very badly?
Do you turn and run to find the farthest place away from any other dogs? What are all these behaviours teaching your dog? Have you addressed and worked on your dog’s reaction away from this intense walking scenario or do you keep walking into it daily and reinforcing your dog’s behaviour?
Recall Training
In an ideal world, when the dog hears the words come!” he or she should stop what he is doing and run back toward you.
Unfortunately, not many dogs think the command to come is an exciting enough for them to come away from playing with other dogs or exploring. They may have perfect recall as a puppy but three months down the line this frustrating and dangerous behavior start to rear its head. In order to figure out why this behavior is so common, we need to consider what “come” means to the dog.
Basic Introductions and Interaction
Some dogs don’t get out and mix with other dogs that much and may have only had one or two doggy friends in their lives. So this practical course is designed for people looking to gain more of an understanding on how to successfully introduce their dogs and how to build confidence and the ability to interact with other dogs.

All our workshops are open to any dog with or without behavioural issues. Each workshop is unique in in the way that we look at how you personally, as the handler, interpret and control situations. We then make observations and suggestions based on your individual needs or situation.
