Huge thank you to Karen Ingram and K9brats & K9 Brats Agility Club for inviting me to present a pattern games workshop yesterday!!

It was such a lovely mix of dogs of all ages and for Karen working my girly to help her confidence around other dogs. It was a great day and they all made so much progress 😍

Who’s joining me for a pop up pattern games workshop next weekend!! Only 4 places left 😍

Danielle Becks Pattern Games Workshop

Saturday 19th September 10-4 pm including a light lunch. £100

This is suitable for all dogs, but is especially useful for those who lack focus or confidence, get over excited easily and struggle to calm themselves back down or are reactive in any way.

A bit about Danielle and the workshop….
Join Danielle Beck Clinical Animal Behaviourist and Certified Control Unleashed Instructor in this workshop as Danielle explains how utilising control unleashed pattern games can build strong foundations for reactive dogs and those lacking confidence to help them learn how to cope, build confidence and increase responsiveness to you

Let me introduce you to the ‘Power Of The Pattern’ and how these simple exercises can help to build predictability and boost confidence in your handling skills with your dog and help them to control their meerkat, through simple and effective self-regulation exercises.

Learn how to teach the most effective of the patterns for reactivity and how to apply them in different situations to really strengthen the relationship and confidence between dog and handler, regardless of the distraction. We even cover how these exercises can be used to help your dog calm down if they do react to ensure you know how to handle things together and really control their Meerkat!

Pattern games help your dog to regulate themselves by ‘controlling their meerkat’ and focusing on you.
