• People whose dogs may be more measured or cautious in their approached to the world.
• People with puppies who wish to support their confidence and body awareness as they grow.
• People with older dogs who are not ready for full retirement; they just need a few adjustments.
• Anyone who wants to bond and explore with their dog.

The goals of this course:
