SERVICES
We operate in the area of Toledo, in the capital as well as the villages surrounding it.
In all the options available, we make an effort to help owners communicate in the easiest way possible with their dogs to get the best results without using force at any time. We take into account the individual needs of each dog and its guide so that we all enjoy learning.
Careful! All things come to those who wait, or rather, to those who practise. It’s important that the owner commit himself to working with his pet since it is he who will be in charge of taking care of the dog in the day-to-day of things.
Classes can be given in English or in Spanish, in groups or privately.
BASIC OBEDIENCE
In this modality we teach the following exercises: sit, down, come, stay and heel. With these foundation exercises, you will gain greater control over the behaviour of your dog since it will learn that paying attention to you will bring good results. As long as you teach it correctly, that is.

PUPPY CLASSES
The majority of problems that people have with their dogs is due to a lack of good teaching during puppyhood. There are those who say :"he’s just a puppy, you have to let him be a puppy”, or “puppies can’t handle training sessions” or “puppies can’t learn until they’re older”. Well yes, we should let them be puppies, but who says teaching him things won’t let him be a puppy and enjoy life? The second point was true in times when methods which respect the animal were not known or used as they are today. As for the third point, QUITE THE CONTRARY!
It’s the period in which they learn most. A puppy is constantly learning and it’s our job to help owners know how to teach the puppy the things they want him to learn.

INTENSIVE CLICKER COURSE
It’s basically a plastic box with a small sheet of metal inside which makes a sound when you press it. It is used as an “event marker” communicating to the dog that it has done something well and that we are going to reward it. We deal with different topics which include “luring” (the use of a bait), “targeting" (the use of a target) and “shaping” (moulding the behaviour) and we discuss various possibilities in the use of the clicker.
DOG TRICKS
It’s not all about a dog doing something to fulfil some need. We can also have some fun just for the sake of it. Teaching your dog tricks is an excellent way to form a bond with your friend, to exercise his mind and not just his body and thus burn a little of the energy that it might normally use to do things you perhaps rather he didn’t do! However, above all, it is a great way to have a great time together!

DOG WALKER
We are aware that there are many people who cannot take care of their dog as much as they would like. Perhaps they didn’t expect how much exercise and time a dog would need and with their job they don’t have much free time. Or maybe some handicap makes it difficult for them to take it out as much as it needs. For this reason, in Morecan we offer the dog walker service where a qualified and responsible person takes out your dog to walk and play with it. If you want us to teach your dog some obedience, that is also possible.
MAN TRAILING
Mantrailing is a sport which is not practised by many in Spain, but it has a huge following in other countries like Germany. As you can tell from the word, it is a sport which involves trailing or tracking people who are "missing". Unlike with rescue dogs, in ths sport, the "victim" isn't lost but rather hidden. An expert dog in the sport can track its objective crossing woods or cities. It's an excellent sport for untirable dogs and those that use their nose a lot, but any motivated dog can participate. The best is that it's great fun and lots of exercise for dog and owner allike.
