Born To Learn
8 weeks. Starting 16 Mar 2023
A foundation in learning technology to be able to build tremendous learners that share our lives and take you beyond the idea that “dogs are trained”.
What do we want our dogs to learn? What skills are going to be of greatest value to them? Learning to learn is a skill. It is full of critical elements that will transfer to everything they do for the rest of their lives.
This course is suitable for anyone interested in becoming a student of learning: for dogs that walk, sit, play, run, live with people.

Live Courses run over a fixed period with individual feedback. These courses are limited to Setter Members. Build The Future courses run 3 times a year and you can begin at any time. Become part of a welcoming and dynamic learning community and let the voyage begin. These are just some of the comments from participants:
“Build The Future Course 3 has been an absolute revelation for me, has done wonders for Tighnearnan physically and mentally, and has been such a pleasure. I was really worried about how little experience and knowledge I was bringing to it, but Kay and my classmates were wonderfully encouraging and helpful, and I learned so much that I can transfer and apply in so many scenarios.”
“I have never been in a class with so much vigor to learning, so much striving to give and to try so hard to learn new ways and understand. All of this centered around providing the best for the pups!”
“The importance of thinking in terms of developing skills rather than building behaviours”
“We discovered more about each other, learned to communicate better, and shared so much pleasure at creating and exploring together.”

Can We Do Better
Course
Build confidence to navigate the (mis)information in the world of dogs. Pressure to conform to a particular lifestyle or viewpoint and can make us lose sight of our own values and way of connecting with our dogs.
It can never be too soon to pay attention to their experience and ask more questions of ourselves and the improvements we can make.
