Each session will cover essential skills such as engagement, motivation, and precise positioning, all while creating a fun and rewarding environment for both handler and dog. With techniques and strategies from Hannah’s expertise, participants will learn how to break down complex behaviors into achievable steps, troubleshoot common challenges, and create a reliable training routine that builds confidence and enthusiasm.

Join us for a positive and productive class that combines the techniques from Awesome Obedience and Drinking from the Toilet to enhance your training experience and set you and your dog up for success in the competition ring!
