Course Details
All performance dogs experience challenges and pressure when competing. There is no way around it. It’s up to us to prepare our dogs and provide them with skills to work through these challenges. In this workshop we will use platform games to build a positive conditioned emotional response to pressure and distractions. These games can be adapted to a wide variety of sports and behaviors. Dogs think platform games are tons of fun….and you will too! Whether your dog is an inexperienced youngster or a seasoned competitor, these games will improve your dog’s self-confidence and provide them with skills to overcome adversity when training and competing.
