Engagement Workshop

Service Description

Engagement Workshop When a dog is truly engaged with their person, everything about the relationship shifts. An engaged dog wants to be with you. They seek you out, they enjoy the way you communicate, and they look forward to what working together feels like. They’re not simply following instructions - they’re an active participant. Engaged dogs push the learning process forward. They feel empowered, curious, and excited to try. They trust their handler, and they desire the interaction because it has been built through meaningful rewards, interactive play, thoughtful management, and clear communication. Engagement isn’t just another training concept, it’s the foundation of a healthy working relationship that all future play and skills training rests on. A dog who is engaged is a dog who is happy to be there, willing to try, and confident in what’s being asked of them. Kirstie will take you through how to build engagement from the ground up, how to maintain it when things get more challenging, and how to use engagement to support your training long-term. You’ll learn how to create a dog who is connected to you, invested in the work, and eager to learn.
