Unwind and connect with fellow participants and mentors at a delightful cheese and wine gathering.

 

Day 2

Unleash your potential with a day dedicated to discovery, growth, and transformation. Begin with a captivating lecture on dog psychology, designed to shift how you understand and communicate with your canine companion. Move into a restorative sound bath experience, allowing both you and your nervous system to reset before witnessing a powerful live dog training demonstration—where theory meets real-world application. The day continues with dynamic, hands-on training sessions, including guided video reviews to sharpen your awareness and elevate your skill set. As the sun sets, gather for a magical Gala Dinner under the stars—a celebration of connection, breakthroughs, and the shared journey between humans and dogs

 

Day 3

Step fully into your learning with immersive, hands-on experience working directly with dogs under the guidance of expert dog psychology mentors. Participate in a structured group pack walk, with off-leash harmony as the goal—building trust, communication, and calm leadership. Dive deeper into understanding your specific breed’s instincts, needs, and behavioral tendencies, gaining insights you can immediately apply in everyday life. This final day is about integration, transforming knowledge into embodied skill while strengthening the bond with your dog. We’ll close at 6 PM, sending you home with practical tools, personalized insights, and lasting resources to support your continued journey with your canine companion.
