PRODUCTIVE REST: Mental Activity & Static Training for the Active Dog On A Break

Tuesday, 07 April 2026

WHAT YOU GET ANSWERING THREE QUICK QUESTIONS.

Are you currently living the "Crate Rest" nightmare?

Whether it’s post-op recovery, a sudden soft-tissue injury, or a long-term condition that has sidelined your athlete, the pressure builds up fast.
When a high-drive dog, like my own 6-month-old Collie, is told they can’t run, "rest" can quickly turn into frustration for both of you.

This workshop is designed to flip the script. We aren't just "waiting out" an injury; we are using this time to build high-level focus, cooperation, and calm through Static Training—skills that will serve you for the rest of your dog's life.

Who is it for?

This workshop is a "must-have" toolkit for:
- The Side lined Athlete: Owners of high-energy dogs currently on restricted exercise or crate rest.  
- The Proactive Owner: Those with healthy dogs who want to "bank" these stillness skills before an injury ever happens.
- Young Dog Owners: Anyone with a puppy who needs to learn that "working" doesn't always mean "running."  
- The Senior Dog Owner: Helping older dogs stay mentally sharp without physical strain.

What will you learn?

I will be on camera with my own dog, demonstrating the exact step-by-step process to teach, troubleshoot, and progress these essential behaviours:  Static Control:
- The Chin Rest: The foundation for stationary focus and vet exams.  
- The Nose Touch: Precise positioning without physical luring.  
- Holding an Object: Building duration and "quiet mouth" skills while staying still.  
- The Relaxed Side-Lie: Moving beyond a "down" to a full muscular release, essential for stress-free vet and physio visits. - Muzzle Training: Turning a vital safety skill into a fun, low-arousal game while your dog has nothing else to do.
- Cooperative Care: Practical "standstill" techniques for grooming and handling.
- Intro to Scent Work: How to exhaust your dog’s brain using their nose while their paws stay still.
