  • Welcome to Positive Fundamentals Course0:59

    In this course we will explore what kind of dog guardian you want to be? What works for you? In your environment, with your lifestyle? And, most importantly, for the dog that will spend it’s life with you.

    As we begin our Positive Fundamentals Course, it is essential to reflect on the kind of dog guardian you aspire to be. Consider what approaches work best for you, align with your environment, and suit your lifestyle. It is crucial to understand that each individual has unique characteristics and preferences, and this applies to the care of a furry companion as well. By recognizing the specific traits and needs of both yourself and your dog, you can establish a strong foundation for a fulfilling and harmonious relationship.

    Your environment plays a significant role in shaping the experiences you and your dog will have together. For instance, living in a bustling city may require different strategies than residing in a quiet suburb or rural area. Understanding how your surroundings influence your interactions with your dog can lead to more effective training, communication, and overall well-being for both of you. By tailoring your approach to accommodate the specific demands of your environment, you can create a nurturing and supportive home for your canine companion.

    Ultimately, the most critical consideration when determining the type of dog guardian you want to be is the well-being of your dog. Your decisions and actions should always prioritize the health, happiness, and safety of your furry friend. By striving to meet their physical, emotional, and behavioral needs, you can cultivate a strong bond built on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. Remember, you are embarking on a journey with a loyal and loving companion who will rely on you for care and guidance throughout their life. By approaching your role with intention, compassion, and a commitment to positive fundamentals, you can create a fulfilling and enriching partnership with your canine companion.

  • Course Overview3:02

    The course is designed to be taken over a period of 9 – 10 weeks.

    There are three main categories of the course and each of them is divided into 3 lessons:

    MINDSET

    • VALUE

    • CHOICES

    • REWARDS

    ENVIRONMENT

    • SET-UP

    • TOOLS

    • BOUNDARIES

    ENERGY & SYMBIOSIS

    • REACTIVITY

    • TRUST & RESPECT

    • RECALL & EYE CONTACT

    We recommend to take around a week for each lesson and around three weeks to a month for each category: watch the videos of a lesson, then read the PDF guide to help you through the week to implement what you’ve learnt. If you feel you have “nailed” any particular lesson, move on to the next or any other in the course, - it doesn’t have to be linear.

    Remember to track your progress and have fun!

Requirements
