Q: Do I need training experience?
No. These games are for any owner to explore. No pressure, just have fun with them.

Just some food, a favourite toy and some space. You can play outside in the garden, on a walk or indoors, as long as the surface is safe and non-slippery.
Q: How long will it take to see results?
Most owners see engagement within minutes. Because the games tap into instinct, puppies respond quickly. Even one short session can boost confidence, focus and curiosity.
Q: Will this interfere with my obedience training?
Q: Will these games make my puppy too excited?
The games teach your puppy to think and focus while excited, which often leads to calmness afterwards. Most puppies settle beautifully after playing. Give them some quiet time with a chew.
Q: What if my puppy is shy, nervous, or unsure?
These games are ideal. They let shy puppies build confidence and curiosity at their own pace.
