Foundation Fix
Leadership, Tools, Communication
Better training starts
with the foundations.
If you're tired of guessing what to do next, start here. Learn the starting principles I use with every client: leadership, training tools, and clear communication.
Understand what your dog is learning from everyday life—and what you can change to give them clearer direction.
PREREGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOPLive online with Angie Saunders · Date and details to be confirmedBefore you ask more of your dog,
look at the whole picture.
Your routines, responses, rules, and follow-through all teach your dog something. Foundation Fix helps you recognize those patterns and understand the principles behind the changes you make.
Whether you're starting with a new dog or realizing your current approach needs a reset, this workshop gives you a clearer place to begin.
Understand the why.
Learn what needs to change.
Lead in everyday life.
Learn how your role, household structure, and daily decisions shape your dog's expectations.
- Rules, boundaries, privileges, and access.
- Feeding, rest, play, attention, and everyday routines.
- Clear expectations shared by the household.
- Consistency and following through on what you ask.
Understand what you use.
Get a clearer understanding of collars, leashes, and their role in communication and control.
- What different tools are intended to do.
- Fit and appropriate use.
- Why temperament and the dog in front of you matter.
- How tools support your guidance and follow-through.
Make your message clear.
Learn how timing and consistent responses help your dog understand what you mean.
- Marker words, including “yes” and “good.”
- Positive and negative feedback: what you are communicating.
- The difference between a cue, feedback, and a release.
- How timing and follow-through affect learning.
Notice the patterns.
Choose a clearer direction.
We'll look at the everyday areas where expectations can become unclear: meals, sleeping arrangements, furniture access, doors, visitors, toys, attention, and personal space.
The focus starts with what you do, what you allow, and how consistently you follow through.
Look at your routines, household rules, and the habits your dog has been practising.
Understand the purpose behind leadership, tools, and communication before trying to change everything at once.
Identify practical changes and use a self-check approach to notice your own consistency, your dog's response, and where you need more direction.

Is Foundation Fix right for you?
Who is this workshop for?
Owners who want to understand the foundations behind everyday life with their dog, whether they are starting fresh or need more clarity, structure, and consistency at home.
Will we be working through obedience exercises?
The workshop focuses on the starting principles: leadership, training tools, and communication. It helps you understand the framework you bring to everyday life and later training.
Can this address serious aggression or unsafe behaviour?
This is a foundations workshop, not an aggression rehabilitation program. If your dog growls, snaps, bites, or you feel unsafe, stop and contact Angie for individual guidance before trying changes.
What happens after I preregister?
Send your interest and a little information about your dog. Angie can review whether the workshop is a suitable starting point and share the date and registration details when confirmed.
