ONE DAY DOG TRAINING WORKSHOPS

HORSE & HOUND WORKSHOP

Created by Nero Dog Training and Manege De Ruif!
Dogs and horses are both social beings and have co-existed side by side for thousands of years. Nowadays however, canine and equine worlds often collide in a negative manner. Partly due to living in an urban environment, many dogs never have the opportunity to experience the presence of a horse at close capacity. When faced with a horse, this lack of education may result in insecure barking, fearfulness, flight or engaging in predatory behaviours like charging, chasing and biting – all of which are extremely dangerous for the animals and humans involved.
A walk in the woods may present a passing or approaching horse and rider. Perhaps you head to the country for a holiday with your woofer and there are horses in the surrounding fields? Maybe a horse sharing the beach or dunes takes you and your dog by surprise? Our motto of ‘train don’t complain’ supports setting our dogs up for success by working together in real life scenarios and providing both ends of the leash with guidance and the window of opportunity to learn.
For our all new horse and hound workshop, Nero Dog Training has teamed up with Manege De Ruif, a popular riding school and equine centre located close in Amsterdam – and where the Nero training room is located! De Ruif is a household name in the Amsterdam area and boasts four decades of dedicated professionalism and expertise and we LOVE being neigh-bours (pun intended!)

DOG DETECTION DAY: INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

So, you think your dog has a keen sense of smell? Teach your dog to detect! Scent work is a game changer and is becoming increasingly popular within the dog training industry.

Having successfully passed her dog detection handler course in England, Harlie is more eager than ever to get owners working WITH their dogs to share the benefits and value that scent work brings. It’s a team exercise that requires communication and understanding from both ends of the leash and it’s FUN for canines and humans alike!

During this workshop we aim to address:

✅  Motivation and methodology
✅  Selecting and sourcing the scent
✅  Creating confidence and finding focus
✅  Working as one with your dog

Cost: €250.00* per combination of one dog and one handler. (Price includes 21% BTW, refreshments and a mini scent kit.)* Members of The Nero Network receive a discount: cost of workshop: €225.00 (inclusive of 21% BTW, refreshments and a mini scent kit.)

PREDATION SEMINAR: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG’S PREY DRIVE

From chasing or herding other animals to intensely tracking a trail, aggressively guarding a resource or scavenging food at any opportunity, the umbrella term ”prey drive” is used to describe many common challenges that pet dog owners face. When we take the time to pick apart the various stages behind this natural behaviour, it becomes easier to understand and work with our dogs to address and prevent undesirable behaviours.

In this seminar style event, Harlie aims to immerse and educate dog guardians in seeing the world from their dog’s prospective. By understanding predation and how canines have evolved, we can help today’s dog rehearse what individually feels good to them in a safe and structured manner.

Topics include but are not limited to:

✅  What is prey drive?
✅  What does the science suggest?
✅  Common behavioural challenges pet dog owners face (chasing/ herding/ resource guarding etc)
✅  Behaviour: how we can train with instinct and not against it
✅  Breed and genetically predisposed behaviours 

Please note: this seminar will be a human only event so please leave your dogs at home. 

When? Sunday 26th February 2023: 9.30am – 12.30pm

Where? At our training room: Sloterweg 675, Amsterdam
