We all got a dog so we could enjoy long relaxing walks at the park, beach and woods, but for many owners walking their dog is the most stressful part of their day.
The dog is constantly pulling on the lead on the way to park and once they get there they usually want to run away as soon as they are allowed off lead. But it doesn't need to be this way. You can learn how to get much greater control of your dog, on and off lead by playing with him more often.
Once you discover the power of play your dog walks will become worry free!
This is what course tutor and expert dog trainer Dom Hodgson teaches in his bestselling book 'How to Be Your Dog's Superhero' and it's what lies ahead of you in the 'Worry Free Dog Walks' course.
Why did Captain Scott fail to reach the Antarctic and Roald Admussen not only beat him to it but survived the return journey? It's down to better preparation.
And you need to be well prepared if you want to survive a trip to the dog park AND have fun with your dog while you are there.
In this module Dom shows you how to prepare for a dog walk, what items to take with you AND how to use them on the way to the park so you have your dog's attention even before you get there.
Squirrels and pigeons and dogs, oh my! Is it really possible to keep your dogs attention laser focused on you even when there are lots of distractions at the park?
For sure it is.
It takes some effort from you the owner but it's more than possible for you to keep your dog near and focused on you, even when they are off lead.
Dom uses food and toys to entertain Barry and Sidney and shows you some simple games you can play with your dog too.
Squirrels and Pigeons and Doggies oh my! So how do you keep great control of your dog at the park even when there are other distractions around? In this lecture Dom show you how to play games using food and toys that your dog will love!
Also check out the bonus audio training below. It's the audio of chapter 15 of 'How to Be Your Dog's Superhero'.
Trips to the park don't have to be about training and playing and there are calmer activities you can do with your dog too. Dom does some grooming with Barry the Bordeaux.
This is recap lecture. It's time for you to have a really good think about exactly what it is that your dog likes playing with. Once you find out his favourite toy then you can use it to play the bonus games that Dom will show you in the following two lectures.
Two toys is an awesome game that will tire your dog out and teach him a retrieve at the same. Dom shows you exactly how to play the game in this module.
Any game that gets your dog using his nose is a good one. If you can get your dog finding toys and treats that you hide then this will put him into a 'seeking mode' which keeps his attention near you (and not looking for trouble in the form of other dogs or birds that will take him away from you). This searching game is a higher energy scent game that you can play with your partner or older children and you dog.
This is the concluding lecture. Well done for taking part, now you can look forward to 'Worry Free Dog Walks' with your dog too!
