Puppy Basics
This online class focuses on baby skills such as name recognition, reward markers, sit, down, touch, and stay. These skills set the foundation for building confidence and creating a strong bond with your puppy. We'll also go over concepts such as crate training, potty training, puppy biting, and how to offer your young puppy appropriate exercise and decompression. Make sure your puppy is well rested for class as we will practice skills live during our zoom classes. This course is 6 weeks long and in addition to your 6 weekly classes, you will also receive ongoing support throughout the week via WhatsApp.

Teenage Terrors
Adolescence sucks - that goes for dogs too. Suddenly your sweet little puppy is a bundle of hormones and spice. They stopped listening, started yelling at you, and are suddenly reactive on leash! This intense 12 week course is designed to give you the tools you need to not only survive this harrowing period in your dog's life, but also to thrive with your dog. Learn to speak each other's language again. In addition to your 12 weekly classes, you will also receive ongoing support throughout the week via WhatsApp.

Resource Guarders Anonymous
This class is geared towards dogs who have a strong enough desire to possess their treasures that it turns into dangerous displays of aggression. We will explore the ins and outs of resource guarding, beyond the basics, and learn how to work together with your dog to restore harmony and safety in your home, whether your dog is guarding its food or toys (or both), spaces or people. In addition to your 6 weekly classes, you will also receive ongoing support throughout the week via WhatsApp.

Introduction to Scent Work
Nose Work is a magical game, modeled off of working detection dogs, where dogs use their instincts and natural hunting behaviors to locate "target odors". It's a game for every dog and every guardian - whether you're looking to compete or not. In this intro class, we will teach your dogs how to tap into their natural hunt drive using food and/or toys in a fun and engaging way while building confidence and independence. This class will be 6 weeks long, and you can take it as many times as you want until your dog is ready to be introduced to target odors. You will also receive ongoing support throughout each week via WhatsApp.
cost: €250 (includes 21%VAT)

Curated Training Plans
At Flash of Brilliance, every team is an individual. Each training plan is created with the specific dog and guardian’s needs in mind.
We take pride in finding creative solutions for complex problems, and in working with people of different cultures, disabilities, learning histories, and goals. This is true, even in group learning environments. -
Evidence Based & Effective
It is important to us that our training programs are evidence based. Because of this, our methods are effective and ethical. We refer to the disciplines of behaviour analysis, ethology, neurobiology, psychology, and beyond to understand and treat complex behaviour problems, and raise healthy and happy dogs.

Prioritized Emotional Support
Having a young puppy is hard. We know firsthand how disappointing, frustrating, and overwhelming it can be. One of our top priorities is supporting guardians through the entire training process.
Your frustrations, fears, glimmers, and joys are always front of mind.
“Adam is an excellent instructor and facilitated an amazing class. Whether you are an experienced trainer or brand new to dogs you will benefit from Adam's instruction!”
