Course Details
Excellent Obedience Workshop Series:
Have you experienced crooked or rock back sits on fronts, finishes and halts, bumping on left turns, slow or creeping drops, knocking a jump, early take off or poor jumping style? Did you ever consider that these problems might be physical? This series of workshops will cover conditioning exercises that specifically target obedience skills. The exercises will improve your dog’s strength and help prevent injuries. Your dog will learn valuable body awareness skills that will translate to improved performance. The workshops also address handler skills and body awareness and how it affects your dog’s performance. Whether you are an advanced competitor or beginner, these workshops will bring your dog’s performance to the next level. The activities are low impact and safe for dogs of all ages. The exercises in each webinar are applicable to multiple obedience exercises. Minimal equipment is recommended: perch, platform and fitdisc (or a cushion of some type).
Jazzy Jumping and Dazzling Drops:
Most people don’t realize that our dogs need to be mindfully taught how to jump. The exercises in this workshop will build core and hind end strength and teach your dog to jump correctly. We will also address teaching your dog how to stride, collect and wrap to get more accurate fronts. Does your dog have a slow drop, partial drop, or move forward on the DOR or Signal Down? This can be indicative of a repetitive stress injury. We will work on exercises targeting core and foreleg muscles for quick drops without creeping.
