What to Expect From Shadow Training
Shadow training helps participants better understand the “why” behind their dog’s behavior and manners. It isn’t just focused on commands and responses. It also gives you the opportunity to see how principles of dog psychology shape communication, structure and results. Some of the things you’ll be able to better understand and experience during shadow training include:
Learn how your dog thinks, feels, and communicates.
Observe how calm, clear guidance improves your dog’s behavior.
Apply what you’ve learned to real-world scenarios.
