Some of the main activities will include:
Approach to Water
Puppies and adult dogs will be guided by the dog trainer toward a correct approach to water, through game-based methods, so that they can overcome any hesitations.
Swimming With Your Dog
This course will teach dogs how to interact correctly with their owners during water activities, such as games and swimming. Dogs will also learn how to swim properly and manage their energy in the best way possible.
Dog Yoga
A moment of empathic connection with your dog, alternating a short yoga session with holistic relaxation with dogs.
Clicker Training
Dog owners can try out the Clicker's effectiveness - a small object with a metal tab, emitting a sound that facilitates and speeds up dog training, through practical exercises.
Water Play
Games in water: retrieving objects, slalom, swimming, etc... to improve the dog's physical performance and its relationship with its owner.
Holistic Massage on the Beach
An 'emotional massage' is one of the many forms of non-verbal communication between dog and man, based on physical contact, to obtain a mutual well-being.
Rally Obedience
Rally Obedience is a sport suited for all kind of dogs and dog handlers, and it involves a course with some exercises to be performed.
Dog Mind Activities
Games and problem solving activities to stimulate and increase your dog's cognitive abilities.
Basic Training
A dog trainer will be available for basic workouts, with or without leash, basic commands (sit, down, stay, come), relationship with other dogs, etc.
Amazing Dog Race
A dog race, freely inspired by the popular TV show, where dog-owner pairs will compete against each other in a fun set of games.
Nose Work
Nose Work is a training activity based on the dogs' extraordinary sense of smell. This training does not enhance the sense of smell of our dogs - which is already highly develop - but rather it teaches them how to exploit it to find hidden objects or animal/people traces, offering gratifying treats in return.
Obedience
In this dog sport discipline, the dog must perform a set of exercises of increasing complexity, alongside its owner.
Dog Balance Fit
A functional and postural proprioceptive workout, founded in Italy with the goal of training dogs athletically, and also improving their day-to-day quality.
Agility Dog
Dog handlers must guide the dog along a course (which is different every time), and help them overcome a set of obstacles, such as jumps, tunnels, fences, walls, walkways, weighbridges, slaloms and tires.
Dog Sup
Dog Sup is a water-based dog sport, in which the Sup board is shared with your dog, over a stretch of water.
Club del Sole facilities have always cared about your pets' well-being, even on holiday, with the Family Dog Friendly formats. However, Club del Sole Dog Week will be entirely different: it will be a unique, one-of-a-kind party for your furry friends!
