Concept Games is a six-week course for dogs over approximately six months old.
Instead of simply teaching individual behaviours, concept training looks at the underlying skills your dog needs in order to cope successfully with everyday life.
Through carefully chosen games we can help shape and reshape concepts such as:
Focus
Calmness
Disengagement
Proximity
Optimism
Confidence
Self-control
Engagement with you
The aim is to train for the situation, rather than waiting until your dog is in a difficult situation and then trying to manage it.
We practise skills when your dog's arousal is slightly higher or lower, helping them learn how to think and respond across different emotional states.
Concept games can give you both practice tools and rescue tools - things you can rehearse regularly, but also skills you can use when life becomes difficult.
This course can suit:
Owners who are relatively new to training
Dogs who have gaps in particular skills
Dogs who need better focus or calmness
Dogs who struggle to disengage from the environment
Experienced dogs and owners who simply want something different, stimulating and fun
It is not about drilling obedience behaviours. It is about playing purposeful games that change the skills your dog brings to everyday situations.
Classes are kept to a maximum of six dogs and are designed to be fun, supportive and engaging for both ends of the lead.
Every course has its own WhatsApp group, which you can opt in to join. This gives you access to your trainer and assistant between sessions for additional support.
You can use the group to ask questions, share any difficulties you are having with the games or homework and let us know how you are getting on. We also use it to share useful video content and additional guidance so you can practise the games confidently at home.
