Team up with your pup! – Basic skills in English on Tuesday at 19, from 18.4.

Team up with your pup! is a course designed for all dogs and their owners! During this course, you will learn basic everyday skills with your dog. Training with your dog positively will help you to develop a deeper understanding and get your communication skills to the next level. Themes during the course are e.g. contact, letting go, walking on a leash, relaxing and husbandry. When the foundation is solid, cooperation with the dog is easy and makes your lives together smoother and with fewer misunderstandings.

This 5-week course is designed to provide tools for you and your dog to communicate better in everyday situations and to build a solid foundation on positive training. This course is suitable as your first course together or to refresh your training skills. The course will be held in our 200sqm hall in small groups (max 4 dogs) to guarantee that everyone gets enough personal assistance. Dogs participating should be somehow okay with other dogs in the same hall.

Our training philosophy is that communication is the key, and both the owner and the dog should have fun when training! Our trainers develop and maintain their skills and knowledge all time by attending seminars and training programmes, so we ensure that you get the latest knowledge about dogs and how to train them.
We’re committed to the ethical rules of Suomen eläintenkouluttajat ry, so we don’t use any methods that are based on punishment or fear. Our training is purely about positivity and cooperation.

The trainer of the course will be dog consultant, and animal trainer student Lina Nikula. It is important for Lina to consider the dog’s overall wellbeing in everything. Wellbeing is not only physical health but also dogs mental wellbeing and positive emotions – learning new things should be fun and create positive wellbeing for both ends of the leash.
