I have used this succesfully with practically all my dogs, even as predation substitute, and also teach my clients. My current dog has different ideas about it, she's more food-driven than object- or toy-driven, so I'm happy to get some fresh ideas for my approach. Thank you Alex. Videos are not serious training, just fooling around with purpose after training 😉

I've recently started the Heeling and Playing with Purpose courses and I'm really happy with how my dogs are starting to open up. I can already see a difference in the way we play, even though we've only just started putting some of Alex's advice and techniques into practice. Sharing a short highlight from one of my first sessions with my mal Karma. I'm planning to make a video of me playing with all my dogs too, partly to share my experience and partly to hopefully get some feedback on what I could improve. Something funny happened today actually 😂 I was out on the field where we usually train and play, and one of my Australian Shepherds randomly offered me some fancy prancy heeling without me even asking for it. That really surprised me because until now he's only ever done that for hot dogs 😂 I feel like changing the way I play with them is starting to change their mindset too, which I absolutely love. I've already been through Social Playing and Food Games, and now we're moving on to playing with toys, which I'm really looking forward to. This time I'm trying to take things slowly, spend more time actually practising with my dogs and keep going back to the courses to work on changing my own habits rather than rushing through everything. Still very early days, but I'm really enjoying the process and loving the courses so far. Thanks Alex

Hi I know, I’m late to the game people. Following the play with purpose course and as requested, the homework, my dogs to 5 motivators. Really enjoying the course so far, thank you Alex 🙏

Do we still have active people in here?

Passed! 😃 It wasn’t the best she ever did, but the trial judge said she looked happy and with lots of drive, exactly what we need in the sport nowadays. Happy with my 19 m.o. dobi-raptor 😂🦖
