Connection, Cooperation & Control course - Level 1

Dog training generally focuses on teaching dogs specific behaviours, but forgets to include the relationship, communication and connection. Without those key ingredients, you end up with a dog who knows “stuff” like SIT, DOWN, STAY. But still drags you here and there, tuning out and sometimes just completely disconnecting. Sound familiar?

Distraction is a common problem for pet owners and professional dog trainers.
The Connection, Cooperation & Control (CCC) training system bridges the gap between training at home and in public places to keep the dog engaged and cooperative while the rest of the world happens around him.

Whether your dog’s just a Friendly Freddy, a Distracted Daisy, or even a Reactive Roger, you can have the joyful, cooperative and connected relationship that you want with your dog. Clients report immediate shifts in connection and cooperation after just one lesson!

The course is great for puppies and adult dogs and also ideal for those adolescent dogs who may have mailed their brains to another planet.
