Break Out of Your Shell! Getting the most out of your
shy, stressed, or soft dog
(this is a full day seminar, as this is a complicated
topic!);
this seminar will help your dog to be the best he can be! We will help
your dog to overcome his fears or insecurities and build a foundation
for confidence and success in the agility ring.
Some topics covered include: developing pre-run, start-line, and
post-run routines; using resets; how to spot and reward the "little" stuff;
helping your dog be successful without going past the threshold level; and
helping your dog work through pressure and stress.
Novice Handling
Techniques; getting the footwork right and
becoming a winning team (for teams that are working full height on all of the
equipment, but who have not yet begun to compete or are competing at the
Novice/Starters level).
Advanced
Handling Techniques; perfecting all types of
crosses, distance and directional work (Get Out, Go, and Left/Right as
applicable), and drills for obstacle discrimination and weave poles; for teams
that are working at the Open/Advanced level or above in competition.
Distance
Training; getting your dog to work ahead and
laterally away from you, and learning to successfully direct your dog from a
distance. In addition, learning your dog's natural working distance and
being comfortable working both closer and farther than that distance.
For teams currently competing at any level.
