Learning About Dogs YouTube Channel
As a key resource for our online courses was have our own “channel” at YouTube. There are over 30 different video clips - some from the courses, the clicker challenge and step by step demonstrations of how the virtual classes work. Please visit, it gives you a great idea of what we do from microshaping to egg-agility.
Toys and Treats for Working Dogs
We have sent 14 boxes to the working dogs in Afghanistan. This will not come to a halt whilst there are still dogs and handlers out there. So please don’t forget to pop a few extras into your shopping baskets.
C.O.L.L.A.R. Videos
As with many schools and colleges open days are held regularly to let prospective students see the work and achievements of the previous students and look at the resources available. We have some wonderful videos from a variety of courses on YouTube. These are the students own work with their dogs as part of the course which is an extremely valuable asset. You can look at the Modifier Cues, Microshaping, Targets, Youngsters for Sport, CAP preparation and assessment. Just make sure you set aside at least an hour for dipping in and out because once you start to see the excellent quality of the training you will be inspired to stay for the next episode. Perhaps we can make it into a SOAP?
