Festive Fido's Advent Calendar

25 Days Of Dog Training and Enrichment Games Virtual Course

It is that time of year! The festive decorations are going up, every shop has Christmas music playing, and your dog is bored out of their mind because it is too cold or wet to go outside!

Don’t let you or your dog get cabin fever this year! Our Festive Fido’s Advent Calendar virtual course is 25 days straight of dog training and enrichment games for you and your dog to enjoy. You can do as many games as you want in a day or just follow the advent calendar style and practice one training/enrichment game per day together to defeat boredom-induced behaviors like chewing, barking, digging, and more.

This course is completely virtual and pre-recorded, so you can train at home whenever the mood strikes you. You will receive 25 days worth of train-along style videos of Trainer Lauren Tsao showing her own dogs playing the training and enrichment games. There will be an in-depth explanation of the purposes of each game and how they benefit you and your dog this holiday season. Easy to follow, easy to use, and fun for you and your dog! You will both learn about the basics of training dogs, how to mentally stimulate your dog and why it is important, how to train tricks, how to create enrichment puzzles and design your own scent enrichment setup for your personal dog, and more.

Just some of what is included:

  • How to make enrichment puzzles for your dog.
  • Personalize a scent enrichment setup to your dog’s preferences.
  • Learn new tricks to count towards your AKC Trick Dog or Do More With Your Dog! titles like spin, crawl, and hoop jump.
  • Play training games to strengthen and refresh training skills like “Kennel Up”, “Stay”, “Sit” and “Down” for the new year. (Don’t know those skills - no worries! We will teach you!)
  • And most of all, have fun learning through positive reinforcement-based training with your dog!
