This 18-day online workshop is designed specifically for handlers and dogs who "aren't quite ready for prime time." It's perfect for you if any of these scenarios sound familiar:
**Do you already compete in agility but are frustrated by missed obstacles, spins after jumps or side changes, refusals, or time faults? Or does your dog do things in trials that they never do in practice, like get the zoomies, visit the ring stewards, walk or trot through sequences, or sniff the ground? If your dog's trial performance isn't matching the skills you see them demonstrate at home and training class, it's time to get focused with your training so you can get confident, successful trial performances!
**Or, do you want to start trialing but are having trouble running some sequences without faults, and you're wondering how you can close the gap between "not quite ready" and "ready" for the ring?
Karen and Brenna will address the common challenges that affect Novice and Open dogs, dogs that have quickly moved from Novice to Excellent, as well as dogs that are on the cusp of being ready to compete, so that you can build confidence, improve consistency, and perform as a team when it matters most.
Topics addressed include:
*Fixing front crosses
*Rehabbing rear crosses
*Bolstering blind crosses
*Strengthening go-ons
*Cleaning up 180 and 270 jump sequences
*Recognizing ring stress (and what to do about it)
*Preparing with proofing
*Using rewards and reinforcement
*Handler mindset
AND MORE! (Like fill-in note-taking worksheets for lectures, easily printable course maps with .agl versions provided, and a game to practice some of the skills, with a pretty darn nice prize!)
