Focus & Engagement Foundations

Build a strong connection, even in distracting environments

Does your dog seem more interested in squirrels than you? Struggling to get their attention around other dogs, people, or new places? This fun and interactive workshop is designed to help you and your dog develop laser-sharp focus and reliable engagement—no matter what the world throws at you!

In this foundation-level session, we’ll teach you how to:

• Build value in you as your dog’s go-to source of fun and rewards

• Improve your dog’s ability to check in and stay attentive, even with distractions

• Strengthen communication and trust through games-based training

• Troubleshoot common attention struggles like overstimulation or environmental sniffing

Whether you’ve got a bouncy pup, a distracted adolescent, or a dog who tunes you out on walks, this workshop gives you the tools to build stronger focus and a more responsive partnership.

Perfect for:

Dogs of all ages and training levels – especially those who struggle with distractions or have a tendency to “disconnect” in busy environments.
