Introduction to ACE Free Work

This three week workshop runs from Saturday 15th March to Wednesday 2nd April.

This workshop is ideal for anyone new to ACE Free Work or for those who have done some Free Work previously and are keen to learn more.

It is appropriate for all dogs of all ages from puppy to senior and also suitable for dogs on restricted exercise. It can help improve our awareness of our dogs needs and highlights areas where our dog might need that little bit of additional support.

This popular workshop is run by Penny Leedal and Sonia Catherall and will introduce you and your canine companion to ACE Free Work. You will be shown everything you need to get started including:
• What is ACE
• Getting started with ACE Free Work
• Observations
• Pain and Behaviour
• Posture/Gait
• Canine Body Language
• Moving on with Free Work
• Building relationships in Free Work
• Plus so much more!
You will have a live Zoom session at 7pm UK time each Wednesday, backup home study materials and an invitation to join a dedicated Facebook group where you can upload videos for feedback and connect with others on the course.

In addition you will be able to book an hour long 1-1 session with either Penny or Sonia to kick start your Free Work adventure.

Cost of the workshop is £95 and will give ACE credits.

Penny Leedal is an ACE Associate Instructor, a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (mAPDT 01274) and a member of the Pet Professional Network.

Sonia Catherall is an ACE Advanced Tutor, a Certified Canine Behaviourist and Professional Dog Trainer.

Looking for the perfect way to kick off the new year with your dog? Why not treat yourself and your canine companion to a fabulous ACE workshop this January, or gift a spot to a friend or family member!
Does your dog:
• Pull on the lead?
• Ignore you when you call them?
• Struggle to settle in different places?
• Refuse to drop items they shouldn’t have?
If any of these sound familiar, the ACEing Essentials Workshop is perfect for you both.
Why Join?
This workshop focuses on teaching your dog essential life skills in a way that’s enriching, enjoyable, and rewarding for both of you. You will learn how to:
• Achieve the dream of loose-lead walking.
• Get your dog to come running back when called.
• Help your dog settle in a variety of environments.
• Teach your dog to safely drop potentially harmful items.

ACE Free Work forms the perfect foundation for teaching these important skills and you will be surprised how quickly your dog can learn these new behaviours.
