The Fun Focus Play Assessment

Where Fun Unleashes, Bonds Strengthen, and Learning Flourishes!

I'm passionate about helping Dorset dog owners like you navigate through these issues and achieve the dog of your dreams. I understand the unique connection you share with your furry companion, and am here to guide you on to get the best out of your dog.

Your First Step to Success

Before we embark on this journey together, it's essential to understand your dog's specific needs. That's where our Fun Focus Play Assessment comes in. This 90-minute personalized session is a crucial first step towards achieving your goals.

Each Assessment is broken down into 3 distinct steps.

Step 1: Fact Finding

We start by sitting down with you to understand your concerns and expectations. Your insights are invaluable in tailoring our approach to your unique situation. No two dogs are the same, and your dog deserves a customized plan that will guide you towards your goals.

Step 2: Observation

Next, we observe your dog in their natural environment. This hands-on experience allows us to witness behaviour patterns first hand. It also gives me a change to observe your relationship with your dog and work out why your dog is behaving the way he is. It's a chance for me to see what makes your dog tick, what triggers their reactions, and identify areas for improvement.

Step 3: Recommendations and Foundation Exercises

Finally, I provide you with my professional recommendation. Whether your dog is ready for our life skills classes or needs some one-to-one training first, we'll guide you every step of the way. We understand that some dogs may require more individualized attention before transitioning into a class setting.

Additionally, we'll introduce you to foundational exercises tailored to your dog's needs. These exercises will not only help address specific issues but also prepare your dog for a seamless integration into our Fun Focus Play classes.

Once your dog passes the assessment you will be invited to enrole in the Fun Focus Play Class, where we'll cover:

Lead Manners: Say "No" to the pull and unlock the secret to blissful, stress-free jaunts with your dog!
Recalls: Establish a rock-solid recall, granting you the joy of off-leash adventures with unwavering trust.
Self Control: Unleash your dog's inner superhero! Transform instinct into attentive obedience as your dog learns to rely on you for guidance instead of following their primal impulses.
Settling: Cultivating a strong settle at home and beyond, so you can relish social gatherings stress-free with your chilled out canine companion.
Distraction Management: Get your dog laser-focused on you instead of chasing birds, squirrels, or other dogs.
Training Games: Learn to train your dog through interactive games, making the process fun and engaging.
Bonding and Relationship Building: Strengthen your connection with your dog, creating a strong and harmonious partnership.
Distance Control: Unlock the power of remote guidance! Equip your dog with the skills to heed your cues, whether they're across a sprawling field or just a stone's throw away. It's like being your dog's personal GPS, directing their every move with precision and finesse.

Unearth these vital life skills that help turn your dog into a self-assured, well-rounded member of society.

What Our Customers Are Saying...

Natasja has an Excellent understanding and knowledge of fun, focused dog training.

My Setter is the first puppy I’ve had that I have achieved a good walk with slack lead, and recall with.

I highly recommend Natasja.

- Mrs C LeDuc

Laine is my 4th puppy and many people think that you should know what you are doing when it is your 4th, but you don’t.

She is so calm and confident after both the puppy and junior classes and loves to learn. To have a one year Chessie that stops dead on the whistle retrieves everything and has a recall to die for is a delight.

I can thoroughly recommend training with Natasja because it is fun and dogs love it – I have taken some of the games home to the other dogs, and even my 11-year-old thinks it is fun and is more responsive.”

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.
