Discover how Dr. Dunbar's workshops utilize games to enhance off-leash reliability in dogs, fostering better training outcomes and stronger owner-dog relationships.
This course by Dr. Dunbar focuses on using games to enhance dog training, promoting off-leash reliability even amid distractions. It emphasizes the fun of training while building stronger bonds between pets and their owners, encouraging practice and celebrating improvements.
Training games are great for motivating owners and dogs alike. Learn to harness games to achieve rock-solid reliability
Dr. Dunbar's Off-Leash Reliability & Games Workshops have brought back some sparkle, some excitement, and some razzle-dazzle to pet dog training, all while helping owners achieve huge improvements in reliability with their dogs. Training your dog while off-leash in an exciting and distracting environment makes it much more likely that they will follow your instructions in other distracting situations as well.
Games are extremely enjoyable for dogs and they often bring out the best performances. Dogs are highly motivated because their owners are highly motivated, excited and animated.
All of Dr. Dunbar's games are designed to improve the quality of the relationship between dogs and their people and each individual exercise or game is specifically designed to fine-tune essential ingredients of your dog's training repertoire. The prospect of playing games motivates owners to practice. For some owners, heeling and sit-stay homework is not very exciting, but many will stay up to the wee hours to practice for Doggy Dancing or Musical Chairs.
In addition, playing games is an enjoyable and non-threatening way to objectively quantify performance and fine-tune all basic obedience skills, including attention, position changes, stays, following, heeling, and precision work.
Turning training into games and quantifying responses with a stopwatch or tape measure, enables pet dog trainers to remind owners to celebrate with the dog each time they surpass a personal best. Nothing motivates owners more than when they see that they are improving, even with baby steps, and nothing advertises that you're a great pet dog trainer than the dog's progressive improvement.
Games make it easy and fun to quantify behavior and training, and quantifying your dog's responses allows you to prove whether or not your training methods are working, exactly how well they are working and when you surpass a personal best performance.

Enjoying what has been said so far.
Waiting for someone to credit my 12 CEU’s as per course description. Very disappointed that I have to fight for what I paid for.
Another stunning workshop by a man I hold dear. Truly remarkable. I am a dog trainer who likes to think he is good at what he does yet this has opened my eyes and will help me take it to another Level. Thank you Dr. Dunbar.
I've really enjoyed this course and have implemented musical chairs in our puppy classes, while trying out other games and training methods with my own dogs.
He is such a great teacher - direct and to the point! I love the musical chair games and I am sure I will do these in the future with other people.
We have been thru an obedience training, but I must say this training course is very detailed! Details consisting in tools to use, situations to go thru etc
Absolutely LOVE Ian's work! can't wait for the next video! The best, most understanding, well explained dog video man out there (and I've seen loads!)
This was an really interesting training workshop and well presented.
This is my first course and it is beyond my expectations. It really inspires me to learn more.
