Life Skills

Think. Explore. Learn. Have Fun!

Has your dog graduated from Foundation Plus?  We would love to invite you to continue learning together in our Life Skills program!

Life Skills is all about giving your dog the opportunity to think, explore, problem solve and make their own choices.  Through fun and engaging activities, dogs learn to use their brains, build confidence, develop independence and discover new ways to interact with the world around them.

It's mental enrichment with a purpose, and most importantly, it's great fun for both you and your dog!

What to expect

Life Skills builds on the foundation your dog has already developed, with activities designed to further refine their skills and encourage independent thinking.

Topics include:

  • Refining foundation cues including sit, drop, stand and stay.

  • Building confidence, focus and independence.

  • Impulse control and making good choices.

  • Loose lead walking and handler engagement.

  • Mat work, relaxation and settling.

  • Giving, swapping and exchanging toys.

  • Recall and responding around distractions.

  • Developing reliability through duration, distance and distraction.

  • Fun problem-solving and enrichment activities.

  • And lots more! 

Classes are interactive and varied, giving dogs opportunities to learn at their own pace while working alongside you in a supportive group environment.
