Course Details
Agility has turned into a sport with high demands for verbal understanding at full speed. Verbal discrimination is an important skill that can seem daunting to train because it often creates conflict and frustration.
I will show you a different way to approach verbal discriminations – a training method with fewer errors, less frustration, and more understanding. I will cover how to make verbal cues important to your dog. How to build focus and understanding while keeping the dog confident and calm.
This way of training also helps with many other common challenges in agility – startlines, distance work, layering, and focus.
About the Instructor:
Fanny Gott (she/her)
Dog training has always been my biggest passion. I started out as a struggling obedience trainer with the family terrier, and never looked back despite many challenges. For the past 20 years, I've worked full time to teach others, and at the same time learn as much as possible about how to train all kinds of dogs to their potential.
I have developed a deep love for the sport of agility, and spend my time training my own dogs, competing at a high level, teaching others, sharing ideas, judging, educating, and always looking for new ways to improve.
I compete in A3 with high drive Border Collies, as well as with a Basset Fauve the Bretagne. This spring, I will once again welcome a working cocker spaniel into our pack and I'm excited to see what that journey will bring.
