Owner Education

It is no secret that having a dog can be challenging. Knowing where to start is difficult as there is so much conflicting information. Apex Dog Training prides itself on concise, clear and thorough owner education, leaving you armed with the mental and physical tools to succeed with your dog. As Elijah says “if you have a dog, you are a dog trainer”, and this is exactly the approach we take to educating you (the owner).

What you will learn:

Leash handling skills.
Luring, shaping and markers.
How your dog thinks.
Teaching new behaviours.
Counter-conditioning and desensitisation.

What To Expect.
