Motivational Reinforcement Strategies Workshop with Craig Ogilvie

19th May 2024

12:45 pm to 15:45 pm


Ever feel like your dog's focus during training is like a rollercoaster, constantly switching between you and the Distraction Fairies?


Does your dog find it challenging to maintain the requested behaviour at the required level when training, making you feel you are stuck in a rud?

Is your dog's performance at competitions lackluster, drab and dreary instead of sparkling like the stars?


Choosing the perfect reinforcers for your furry friend, and figuring out when to shake things up, seems trickier than solving a canine puzzle.

Join Renowned Expert Craig Ogilvie for a Workshop That Will Transform Your Training Approach

The constant struggle between keeping your dog's focus on you and fighting the enchantment of Distraction Fairies can make training sessions feel more like a battle than a coming together of partners.

If you feel like you are stuck in a canine Groundhog Day, leaving you wondering whether there's a way to break free from this frustrating training loop.

Competitions should be your time to shine together, but instead, your dog's performance is lackluster, drab, and far from the star-quality you envisioned. Are you disappointed watching your furry partner fall short of their potential, leaving you yearning for that winning sparkle.

Choosing the perfect reinforcers for your dog and knowing when to switch things up can feel like solving a canine puzzle with missing pieces. It's a struggle that goes beyond finding the right treats; it's about creating a strong connection with your dog that goes beyond the training field.

The challenges you face are real, and we understand the desire for more engaging, fulfilling training experiences.

Join us for a 3-hour workshop designed to transform these frustrations into victories. It's time to turn the tables on these training hurdles, creating a dynamic and enjoyable journey for both you and your canine companion.

Natasja Lewis DipCABT

In 1994, my fascination with dog training ignited as I welcomed Dali, a Shetland Sheepdog, into our family. The challenges we faced birthed my passion for canine behaviour, propelling me to refine my skills through intensive study, workshops, and a deep understanding of training methodologies.

Central to my approach is the revolutionary Fun | Focus | Play® method. Unlike traditional techniques, it forges a joyful partnership, aligning with the latest in canine behavior science. Beyond being a skilled trainer, I'm also an author, my books "No Pulling Allowed" and "Dogz Thinkz Differentz," unveiling innovative perspectives on training.

What sets me apart is not only my years of experience and knowledge, but the ethos of choice and collaboration that defines my training. Our journey together isn't just about training your pup; it's about fostering a profound bond, understanding, and confidence, allowing you to navigate the complexities of dog ownership seamlessly. Let's sculpt a harmonious connection that transcends the ordinary – reach out today to unlock your dog's true potential.
