Clicker workshop
Do you want to teach your dog tricks? Empty the washing machine, pick up objects, tidy up, open the curtains and many more. Our clicker workshop will get you started. Clicker training is one of the best ways to bond with your dog and tighten that relationship. We will introduce you to the clicker and the science behind it and show you how to use it in basic training before looking at tricks.
