Cognition Training Academy 6wk course

Service Description

If you don’t understand how your dog thinks… you’re guessing. Understand how your dog thinks — not just what they do. --- Most training focuses on behaviour. This doesn’t. This is about what’s happening before the behaviour — how your dog makes decisions, processes information, and experiences the world. Because once you understand that… everything else starts to make sense. --- Over 6 weeks, you’ll start to see: • How your dog actually makes decisions • When they think vs react • Whether they rely on you… or trust themselves • What’s really driving the behaviour you’re seeing --- Each week, you’ll work through a simple task designed to reveal how your dog thinks. You’ll make predictions before they start… then watch what actually happens. And that’s where the learning is. --- Throughout the course, you’ll complete structured “lab reports” during each task — capturing what you observe, what surprised you, and how your dog approached the problem. At the end of the 6 weeks, I’ll compile everything into a bespoke final cognition report for your dog — giving you a clear, personalised breakdown of how they think and learn. --- “This course helped me understand how his brain works on a deeper level… that insight has completely changed how I approach our training.” --- This isn’t a training class. There’s nothing to “fix” here. It’s for people who want to properly understand their dog — not just change what they do. --- What to expect: • One simple task each week • Time to observe and reflect • Dogs worked one at a time • Small groups (max 5 dogs) • Structured lab reports to guide your observations No rush. No pressure. Because the real learning happens between sessions. --- “Having to make predictions before each task made it even more interesting… and showed me my dog doesn’t always follow the script I had in mind.” --- What you’ll leave with: Not a “perfectly trained” dog. But something far more useful — A clear understanding of why your dog does what they do… and what’s actually going on in their head. --- “It was fascinating to see how much my dog picks up from me… and how that influences the choices he makes.” --- Who this is for: Handlers who know there’s more going on… and want to figure it out. --- Limited to 5 dogs per course. Trust the nose. Decode the brain.
