Description
Welcome to Growly Greeters Foundation Skills.
This course is designed as a follow-up to our Is your dog a Growly Greeter? theory course, and will equip you with practical games & exercises to help with the behaviour modification.
The video skills introduced here are designed to give you, the handler, a good range of skills & options to add to your tool kit when supporting our dogs who are displaying stress around other dogs, or another trigger.
We’ve broken the course into 4 broad segments:
pattern games, which can help promote calm & confidence
working games which specifically address counter-conditioning
decompression games which are for recovery & resilience
general skills games which are useful both when addressing underlying stress, as well as great skills for general behaviour.
No prior training knowledge or experience is required, although you will get the most from the course having already completed Is your dog a Growly Greeter?
The course is broken into short demonstrative videos, which outline the steps to introduce each skill to your dog.
Students will learn step-by-step for each skill, with both written instructions and video demonstrations.
At the conclusion of the course students will be equipped with a range of skills that enable them to support their dog to change their emotional state towards certain triggers, to interrupt their dog should they be heading over-threshold, to exit quickly should they see a potential trigger coming too close, and to help their dog recover & relax.
Who this course is for:
- Dog handlers who have completed "Is your dog a Growly Greeter?" and want to implement practical exercises with their dog.
