60 MIN • FOCUSED PRIVATE COACHING
Learn With Your Dog: Movement • Home Skills • Training
Service Description
A complete individualized session combining dog training, movement-based skill development and guardian education. These sessions allow Erin to observe your dog, identify the most useful starting point, introduce several connected skills and coach you through the exercises until you feel comfortable continuing independently. Whether Erin has been working on your dog directly conditioning and teaching new skills, a private coaching session is necessary to pass on those new skills so that you can continue working with your dog using the same cues, markers and reward cadence. Sessions may include: • Strengthening, stability and body-awareness exercises • Cavaletti, platforms, pivots and agility foundations • Targeting, shaping, tricks and marker training • Loose-leash walking, recall and practical life skills • Confidence building and impulse control • Exercise modification for age, mobility or current ability • Guardian-safe fascial glide techniques • Selected calming or musculoskeletal acupressure points • A customized home-practice plan BEST FOR First and follow-up coaching appointments, multiple related goals, more detailed movement instruction or guardians who want to learn, practise/reinforce and troubleshoot during the same session. Available in person for local Vancouver clients. Zoom coaching is also available in the evenings. A demonstration dog for observation and learning will be used on the practitioner end, and you will need to have your dog nearby to practice. For bodywork and massage coaching, either a demonstration dog and/or a life-size canine model may be used to illustrate technique and form.
