Three badges – Reactivity, Off Leash Freedom, Household Manners
There are three badges each with their own pre-recorded course content. Each badge is designed to be covered in three weeks. You access the badges through your learning dashboard which will be set up for you when you buy the course. You’ll receive your own dedicated login by email.
During the entire 9 weeks there will also be a weekly live taking place in the private Facebook by either Tom, Lauren or both! This live will cement some of the weeks learning, answer questions and generally check in and see how everyone is getting on.
You can choose to follow along with the course during the recommended 9 weeks, or you can complete it at your own pace. We don’t set rules, we are all about flexibility! So you can take as long as you want to complete it. The lives are all saved in the Facebook group so you can still follow along as if you were doing it live.
The Learning Process
The first three weeks will cover the Reactivity badge. Weeks 4-6 will cover the Off Leash Freedom badge. The last three weeks the Household Manners badge. There is a reasons the badges are set in this way as they lead into each other and all struggles can be solved by having skills in all of these areas.
Each badge has the weeks numbered at the side so that you can clearly locate the videos for that week. You can also mark each video as ‘complete’ once you have watched them.
Each week will ‘open up’ over the corresponding nine week period.
Preliminary Learning
Each badge also has a ‘preliminary learning’ section. This is learning that is foundation knowledge that we recommend you are familiar with before starting that particular badge. They consist of only a few videos that will really help you to understand the concepts we talk about within the badge, and also some of the games that are a pre-requisite to your dog understanding, making sure that you have the best possible chance of success!
Checklists and Workbooks
Each badge also has its own PDF checklist so that you can check off everything that you have learned. There is also a workbook for each badge (that is interactive so you can print and fill it in) that will really get you thinking and help your learning to sink in.
