What a busy year 2024 has been

This year has certainly flown past! I enjoyed some new training courses this year. I particularly enjoyed the live IMDT course 'The Exercises: Foundations to Advanced' presented live via Zoom by Steve Mann IMDT. It is designed for dog trainers, both new and experienced, who want to expand their exercise repertoire for classes and 1:1 sessions.
The course covered a wide range of exercises, from foundational to advanced, helping me build a broader "toolbox" of techniques and to consider more engaging activities to use with my clients. It included strategies for creating my own exercise recipes, measuring progress and helps me to further understand what dog owners want from sessions. We also explored the role of play in training, scent work for all levels and how to adjust criteria to keep both dogs and owners engaged and learning.
I have my eye on some new courses, webinars and workshops for 2025 but for now I am in the process of redoing this website and completing some coursework.
