About the Journey
At one time, Avril lived with 5 adult Dobermanns and was an active member of the Dobermann Club. Her passion for dog training grew when she discovered Obedience competitions, and she had the privilege of living with and loving 3 Border Collies, alongside several rescue dogs that found their way into her home over the years.

The Modules
Module 1: Communication - How to Speak Dog
Understanding your dog’s language is the key to successful training. In this module, you’ll learn how to recognise and interpret your dog’s body language and vocalisations, helping you communicate more effectively and build a strong foundation for training.
Module 2: Learning to Create Calm
A calm dog is a well-behaved dog. This module focuses on techniques that help your dog stay relaxed and balanced, both at home and out in the world. You’ll learn how to create a peaceful environment and how to reinforce calm behaviour.
Module 3: Keeping It Simple - The Method
Training doesn’t have to be complicated. In this module, we’ll introduce you to the simple, effective training method that uses clear commands, consistency, and positive reinforcement to get reliable results.
Module 4: Attention - How to Get It and Keep It
A dog that focuses on you is a dog that listens and learns. This module teaches you how to capture and maintain your dog’s attention, no matter the distractions around you.

In this module, we’ll focus on lead training, helping your dog walk calmly at your side without pulling. You’ll learn techniques to guide your dog and ensure walks are enjoyable for both of you.

Recall is one of the most important skills for any dog. This module will guide you through the process of teaching your dog to reliably come back when called, even in the most distracting environments.
