Cognitive work with dogs, often referred to as canine cognition, is a fascinating field that delves into the intricate workings of a dog's mind. It involves exploring their problem-solving abilities, memory, perception, and communication skills. Cognitive exercises challenge dogs to think, adapt, and learn, providing them with mental stimulation and engagement. These activities not only keep their brains active and sharp but also enhance their overall well-being. Cognitive work can include tasks like puzzle toys, obedience training, scent games, and even social interactions, all of which contribute to a happier and more fulfilled canine companion. Engaging in cognitive work with dogs not only enriches their lives but also deepens the bond between dogs and their human counterparts, making it a rewarding and essential aspect of canine care.

2SpeakDog 101: Gaining Respect Through Trust, Not Obedience Through Fear

Join Kasey Herrera, Master Trainer, for the inaugural offering of our new methodology seminar! Here at 2SpeakDog, we say “respect through trust, not obedience through fear!” Now, you can learn more about our approach to training and the basis for Kasey's methodology.

Many people have come to us unsure of how to communicate with their pup. They might mention "My dog just won't listen to me" or "I think my dog may not be too bright". Really, it comes down to how we are communicating with them.

2SpeakDog's training approach is about effectively communicating with your canine companion. We teach the nuances of communication from both an obedience perspective and a behavior perspective. Our focus is on helping you understand the differences as we use both in our approach to training. Understanding the balance between obedience and behavior can help you and your pooch develop a productive and long-lasting dialogue. Our goal is to help you understand the problems, issues, and/or concerns you have with your pup - not just responding to symptoms.

Learning "2SpeakDog" will teach you to gain respect through trust and build the foundation for a peaceful happy home.

In this seminar, Kasey will go over the basics of how "2SpeakDog". It will be a great opportunity for new clients as well as for returning clients looking for a brush-up on the methodology. She will also provide time for Q&A so you can ask questions specific to your household.

Cost for this event is $50 per person. If you work with a rescue, please contact us for a discounted rate.

This seminar is HUMANS ONLY this time and will be held at the pavilion at:

Community West Church.

2340 Pump Rd

Henrico, VA 23233.

We will also be serving a light lunch!
