Proprioception
Proprioception is all about teaching dogs body awareness, coordination and controlled, deliberate movement. These classes focus on building strong foundations, improving your dog’s balance, correct muscle engagement and alignment to set them up for success in daily life and their other sports or activities. Dogs will be working one at a time in a fun, informative and confidence-building, atmosphere with exercises tailored to each dog’s level and specific needs. While these classes are suitable for all ages and abilities, any dogs with pre-existing conditions or injuries will need to obtain permission from their veterinary team in order to take part.

From foundations to problem solving, mechanics to motivation.
Dogs work individually unless it is dog-dog distractions that needs to be improved, then we can arrange that as well.

Testimonials
Isobel, David & Evie
Training our dog Evie with Gosia has been the best thing we could have done to get her to be the dog she now is. At almost three she is curious but responsive, lively but well-mannered and obedient but happy.
Evie has done General Obedience as a pup, follow-up training, Scentwork, and Shaping, all of which have been brilliant for her. The most useful learning for us has definitely been good recall while distracted! Gosia works very hard with each and every dog in her sessions, and her experience has allowed us all to benefit. Thank you, Harburn Dog Academy!
