What will you Learn?

Unlock your dog’s potential with Free Shaping Foundation, a comprehensive training program designed by renowned dog trainer, Jessi Debold (aka That Shepherd Girl). This course is perfect for any dog owner looking to build their dog’s problem-solving skills, enhance their focus, and create a deeper bond through positive, engaging training techniques.

Free shaping is a powerful training method where your dog learns to figure things out on their own. Instead of you luring or guiding them into a behavior, your dog uses their instincts, intelligence, and creativity to problem-solve and offer the correct response. Not only does this stimulate their brain, but it builds confidence, increases mental resilience, and strengthens your relationship with your dog.

Whether you're a seasoned trainer or a beginner, this course provides easy-to-follow instructions, practical exercises, and expert insights that will set you and your dog up for success in any environment.

What You’ll Learn:

• Problem-Solving Techniques: Teach your dog how to think critically and independently, using their own initiative to find solutions.
• Cognitive Development: Free shaping is a fun way to engage your dog’s brain, turning everyday training into a brain game that improves intelligence and mental stamina.
• Building Confidence: Watch as your dog becomes more confident and self-assured through positive reinforcement and clear communication.
• Enhanced Focus & Communication: Strengthen your bond with your dog while improving their ability to focus and respond to cues with precision.
• Versatile Training for All Breeds & Ages: Whether you have a young pup or an older dog, this foundation course is designed to be adaptable for any dog’s learning style.
