Calm Walk Skills Lab:  Magic Mat Calm Starter

Calmness isn’t something we demand.

It’s something we help our dogs learn.

If you’ve ever wished your dog could relax more easily at home, settle while you’re enjoying a coffee or simply learn how to switch off after an exciting day, this Skills Lab is the perfect place to begin.

Together, we’ll explore the foundations of the Magic Mat and how this simple training game can help your dog build confidence, patience and the ability to recover.

Rather than focusing on obedience, we’ll learn how to create positive associations with the mat, understand our dogs’ body language and support them in developing the skill of settling at their own pace.

Whether you’re completely new to mat work or looking to refresh the foundations, this relaxed and interactive session will give you practical games you can start using straight away.

📍 Where: Online via Zoom from the comfort of your own home.

📅 When: 18th August

🕙 Time: 10:30am

🐾 Who is it for?

Perfect for puppies, adolescents and adult dogs who would benefit from learning the foundations of settling and emotional regulation.
