I realised that I was not as or more exciting than her surroundings when on a walk but going through this course, we are developing a better connection and a pup that is starting to think that I am good fun.


I see that my lab is benefiting highly from the different tips and games I learned so far- I would give it one more star if it continued with more video lessons and training for me! She is 19 mos old and craves training!
Another 5 star course through the Labrador Retriever Academy! Ziva presents the material in an easy and practical way with videos demonstrating techniques to improve recall.

Great course! We love playing tug and chase. Great way to have fun and get some energy out. Best training game so far is hand touch (fist bump) – took a bit but is now fun and an easy way to give him a minute to refocus/settle himself. Thank you!



We brought Daisy home two days ago at 12 weeks old. She is responding well to the focus exercises. The course will be a great resource to reference as we continue to learn. She is adjusting well to new routines and environments and has been a perfect lady so far.

It was a joy to see my labs responding and I learnt to celebrate the little wins every day with them. Giving them a job to do and then a sniff and search really made them happy.

I liked the course and so did Bella I revisit it often for a refresh Bella loves the challenge of training


I like Ziva’s personal approach. What I appreciated most was learning to understand my lab and his instinctive behaviors. After that, it is about learning to build a trusting relationship with my puppy. Thank you.


My experience with this program has been wonderful and the disengagement section has been extremely helpful.
I incorporate different sections at different times of the day in the house, in the yard, on our walks, and other places that my boy is familiar with. I am confident that these tools will work in unfamiliar environments someday soon.

Great course, lots of easy to follow videos. My lab has loved these and seems so much more fulfilled since starting to incorporate these.

My lab and I enjoyed the course and had fun! I love that everything is based on positive and bonding rather than punishment and control. Labs really are joyful and fun dogs and very loyal. Ziva does a great job embracing their personalities. The games build great behavior and bonding. Thanks, Ziva!

I have found this course very useful, I have learnt so much and can already see the improvement.

My dog has started checking in with me and making eye contact for longer periods in increasingly challenging settings! This course has definitely increased her engagement with me and brought our relationship to another level!
Murphy thrived with the focus games and activities. I love that the training is based on positive reinforcement. I also needed to hear that some days it would seem that he has forgotten everything. Thank you for all your hard work in sharing this information in a simple, progressive, systematic way.
I very much enjoyed this training. My dog certainly loses attention sometimes and the games and drills helped to refocus her. I have found it helpful to offer new interaction to keep things fresh.

Ziva’s knowledge and expertise is perfect for both novice and experienced lab owners! She has created an awesome course for you to learn and connect as well as to build your relationship with your lab. She encourages questions or concerns you many have and is very responsive to these in a timely manner.

I am working through the course at my own pace which is perfect, I also like that we are all on a lovely Facebook group where we can all contribute and help each other with our own experiences, also something that is really helpful is that Ziva is always there to help as or if needed.


My biggest take away from the course was connection. I didn’t realize that my lab would benefit from connection through play and games. But, it has helped me connect and build a bond with my puppy. I highly recommend this course to better understand your lab!
