Play Workshop with Lily Ray Training

Level up your play with your dog! Join our Play Workshop with Lily Ray Dog Training and discover how to harness the power of play to build engagement, strengthen your relationship, and reinforce desired behaviors.

In this two-day workshop, we’ll cover:

  • How to use play as a reinforcer

  • Different styles of play (toys, food, physical play)

  • Techniques to tap into your dog’s natural drives like tugging and chasing

Whether your dog loves toys, food, or a good wrestling match, we’ll help you find playful ways to connect - and have fun doing it!

Spots are limited to 6 working teams and 5 audit spots.

Dates: September 27th & 28th
Time: 8:30–11:30AM
Location: 521 3rd Street, Oakland
Cost: Working teams ($200) and Auditors ($100)

Things to note:

  • Dogs should be crate-trained or have a safe car setup available to keep them secure between sessions.

  • This workshop is a total of 6 hours, divided into two 3-hour sessions over two days, so you and your dog have time to absorb and practice what you learn each day.

  • This special pricing reflects a $50 discount because the facility we are hosting this in is a work in progress.
