You will discover how to utilise play to strengthen your bond with your dog and start developing an effective reward strategy to aid your dog owning goals.



It can be frustrating when your attempts to play with your dog are met with a look of confusion on your dog's face. Your dog is struggling to understand you want to play with him and this miscommunication can affect your bond with your dog, hindering positive reinforcement and play time fun.
Many dog owners, facing similar challenges, end up believing that their dog simply isn't interested in playful interactions with their handler.

But this could not be further from the truth!

Instead of expecting your dog to conform to your play style, let's shift the focus and discover your dog's preferred style of play. By adapting how you play with your dog and by basing this on what your dog enjoys, you will find that he will become more responsive to you during play and training sessions. This opens up the opportunity to use play as an effective reward, strengthening your bond with your furry companion while reinforcing desired behaviours.

The Interactive Play Workshop is a game-changer for everyone from casual dog owners to passionate dog sport enthusiasts and trainers! Craig will guide you through an acronym-based system, unlocking the secrets to reinforcing play tailored to your dog's unique preferences.

This interactive journey encourages you to understand and embrace your dog's preferred play style, enhancing relationships, boosting confidence, and fostering motivational focus through the joy of play.

Say goodbye to common playtime challenges and learn how to seamlessly integrate these techniques into everyday life.

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.
