A hands-on, 30-60 minute session where I bring a variety of enriching activities for your dog to explore. These sessions give pets the chance to "test drive" puzzles, toys, and activities in a safe, structured environment before you commit to buying them. They're also a great way to begin a training program because they offer me insights into the way your dog thinks, problem-solves, their frustration thresholds, confidence levels, and more that can influence the training program.
