CU On the Trails
Hiking is my favourite thing to do with my dogs, and CU games work wonders to keep them engaged on the trails. I feel very strongly about giving dogs a sense of off-leash freedom without breaking leash laws, so I will show you how to improve your long-line handling skills in week 1. Bring your rubber boots and be prepared to get a little dirty!

Canine fitness is an incredible way to build your dog’s confidence, balance, and strength. It’s also a great way to make learning novel things enjoyable your dog. As an added bonus, the impulse control exercises we use for canine fitness also help with doggy manners!
