"The Whatever Dog".
The “Whatever Dog” takes life in their stride, ignores noises, can observe animated dog play and highly stimulating environments without arousal or the need to interact, can enjoy non-contact play, is content alone or with company, can settle easily and walk past pedestrians, dogs, traffic without reaction and feel comfortable with human handling.
The ‘Whatever Dog’ moves through life like water off a ducks back, simply enjoying life, choosing to shrug their shoulders and think ‘whatever’ when faced with a challenging situation.
The Whatever Dog Program supports you and your dog with over 24 weeks of training support, focusing on sound emotional development, environmental desensitisation before leading into handling techniques and basic training cues. This program is designed for those owners who understand emotional stability is the first step in creating a cool calm confident responsive dog who thrives.
