A truly essential skill that EVERY pet guardian should know
ACE Free Work is amazing – and it has helped every single dog that we have worked with. Yes, that’s right EVERY dog – puppy, teenager, supposedly sensible adult, golden oldie, new rescue, long-term family companion, fearful and anxious, over-excited, sound-phobic, confident, poorly or injured, fit and fabulous. It truly is one of the most versatile and EASY techniques to just help your dog feel their very best.
We use it to
- support physical and emotional development in young dogs
- help teenagers learn to balance and regulate themselves
- identify early signs of health changes, pain and discomfort or body tension
- help dogs overcome fears and worries (from being touched, meeting new people, sounds to struggling with other dogs)
- make visits to the vets and groomers easy and relaxed
- help with car-travel
- support older dogs to maintain physical wellbeing and reduce cognitive decline
- improve loose lead walking
- help dogs relax around things they have previously guarded
- build lovely confident social skills with people and dogs
The list really is endless!
Perhaps most importantly, it will give you a truly incredible opportunity to really SEE your dog, to learn to read their body language, to listen and understand and to build a conversation that will really deepen your relationship and, on a practical level, make so many things just so much easier!
