1:2:1 Power Pack, the meat in your 1-2-1 sandwich.  MEMBERS SAVE £20 
There is plenty of information out there that covers Consult Forms and Write-ups but what about the bit in the middle? In this unique workshop, we will be helping to recharge your skills and confidence in your 1:2:1 training sessions. We’ve all had those “What now? I didn’t expect that” moments and with no one to turn to at that instant it can really throw you off your plan and create panic! This workshop is designed to give you some extra skills to help you through these moments and really boost your 1:2:1 power! We will be looking at some of those curveball cases which Lee has personally experienced and working together on solutions for extra scenarios. The day also includes an opportunity to get hands-on with dogs and refine your training when it comes to common issues.
