Let the Dreams begin! We’re ready a day early and can now take registrations for the new Dream Dog Training Program at Ahimsa in Seattle and Bellevue. Â Dream Dog is a revolutionary new way to train your dog, where you can get help and practice exactly what you need. Â The skills are award-winning, dog friendly methods that you’ve come to trust, but the way we teach them to you and your dog will make the difference.
The foundation of Dream Dog is that we have lots (about 20) different single-topic, one-day classes. Some of them are meant to share information just once, like the Dog Talk class about body language. Â But some, like the Loose Leash Walking class, are meant to be taken over and over with your dog, as a place for you to practice with your dog from basics through advanced levels.Â
Along with Dream Dog, we have developed a testing system to keep you and your dog motivated. Can your dog can become a Black Belt in Doggie Zen? We’ll donate $10 to a local dog charity for every Black Belt student.
When I was a student, there was a point in time when I really was taking classes just to work on my dog’s jumping. We’d do 50 minutes of other skills that my dog already knew well, and then came the time where we got to practice greetings. Â It wasn’t the best time investment. But it was hard to get volunteers to practice greeting my dog, so that’s what I did.
Now you have another choice. Â You could just take the Polite Greetings class for several sessions in a row, until your dog got all of the practice he needed. No waste of time!
Dream Dog Training classes start February 27th. Click here for our schedule.
