Build a Dog Who Can Have Fun Anywhere
“You’re looking at a dog who once found the world too overwhelming to play. With the right steps, everything changed — and it can for your dog too.”
If you’ve just watched the video of me and Rio playing in the middle of a busy, chaotic market… you’ve seen what’s possible.
What you didn’t see is the dog she used to be.
Rio was never the kind of dog who could play out and about. The world was simply too much — too loud, too unpredictable, too overwhelming. And she’s not a high-drive working dog who wakes up every morning thinking about tug toys. She’s just a normal dog who used to freeze, shut down, or disengage the moment we stepped into busier environments.
And now?
Now she can play anywhere.
Not because she was born that way, but because we built her confidence, step by step, through thoughtful, fun, connection-based play.
That’s exactly what Play Club is designed to help you and your dog achieve.
Play Club is a 7-week course designed for high-energy dogs who love to play but need a healthy outlet for their enthusiasm. Its also a course for dogs that struggle to feel safe out and about! Through the power of play, you’ll learn how to build your dog’s confidence, improve focus, and strengthen your bond in a fun and practical way.
The course kicks off with a Zoom introduction, followed by weekly in-person sessions in a variety of real-world environments. You and your dog will practice play-based training in new and exciting places—building the skills to stay calm, engaged, and confident no matter what’s going on around you.
